Court largely upholds block on Trump's revised travel ban

Additionally, the court's decision said that President Trump did not follow protocol when setting a cap on refugee admission, and that the part of the order that bans travel to the US from six Muslim-majority countries constitutes nationality-based discrimination that that is prohibited by the Immigration and Nationality Act. The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld nearly entirely the ruling from a district court in Hawaii ("an island in the Pacific") striking down the second version of his travel ban.

The Ninth Circuit made a decision to uphold in large part the injunction on the second iteration of the travel ban, according to the ruling.

The Department of Justice has already referred a similar ruling from last month to the Supreme Court, and is likely to do so with the latest ruling from the ninth circuit court of appeal.

"I think we can all attest that these are very risky times and we need every available tool at our disposal to prevent terrorists from entering the United States and committing acts of bloodshed and violence", Spicer told a briefing. After the London attack, Kellyanne Conway appeared on NBC's Today show and questioned the media's "obsession" with Trump's tweets.

Trump's revised travel ban removed Iraq from the list of nations barred from sending immigrants to the United States, but again listed six others - Libya, Syria, Yemen, Sudan, Somalia and Iran. Arguments in the case Hawaii v. Trump, were heard on May 15 by a three-judge panel of the court, and this was the second panel of this court to rule against the administration on this subject in the last five months.

A federal judge in Hawaii also sided with the ban's opponents. On these statutory bases, we affirm in large part the district court's order. The first, issued on January 27, led to chaos and protests at airports and in various cities before it was blocked by the courts. We've fought this blatantly discriminatory ban all the way to the Supreme Court because it does not represent who we are as a country.

Less than two weeks after the Trump Administration asked the Supreme Court to reverse the stay that prevents it from implementing a "Muslim travel ban", another appeals court has upheld the block.

Like the court rulings that came before this one, Trump's own words-and tweets were one of the deciding factors in not reinstating the ban.

Section 1182 (f) requires that the President find that the entry of a class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States.

Unlike other courts in the past, the three judges on the 9th Circuit did not dwell on Trump's public comments.

The administration has since appealed to the Supreme Court to allow the travel ban to take effect.

Lawyers for Hawaii called the order a "thinly veiled Muslim ban". For 2017, President Barack Obama had set the number at 110,000; Trump's travel ban attempted to lower it to 50,000. However, the appeals court vacated part of the injunction in order to allow the government to conduct internal reviews on vetting procedures.
