A California-based federal appeals court has dealt President Donald Trump another setback, refusing to revive his travel ban on people entering the United States from six Muslim-majority nations in a dispute headed to the US Supreme Court.
Key points:
- Latest decision largely leaves in place earlier Hawaii ruling
- Trump administration filed an emergency request to Supreme Court on June 1
- Argument continues over whether order violates Constitution
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco largely left in place a ruling by a federal judge in Hawaii that blocked the President’s March 6 travel ban order, which Mr Trump said was urgently needed to prevent terrorism in the United States.
A second court, the Richmond, Virginia-based 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals, on May 25 upheld a Maryland judge’s ruling that also blocked parts of the order.
Even before Monday’s ruling, the case was on the fast-track to the Supreme Court, where the Trump administration on June 1 filed an emergency request seeking to reinstate the executive order.
