Previously, the Trump administration sought out a review from the Supreme Court of a similar ruling last month issued by the United States Court of Appeals for the Fourth Circuit in Richmond, Virginia. "On March 8, 2017, this court granted that motion, which substantially ended the story of EO1 [the first Executive Order]", the order acknowledged. The court did not need to include them as they weighed the matter, but it's clear that it consider Trump's tweets relevant, important, and a way to determine his prior intent with his ban.
"From day one, I saw President Trump's Muslim ban for what it was, and so have multiple courts across the country", said Herring, in a news release. The travel ban challengers claim the 90 days expires this Wednesday, which is 90 days from the revised executive order's travel ban's stated effective date of March 16.
There are several legal issues being debated with regard to the travel ban, but it largely boils down to two questions: What's the true goal of the travel ban, and does the administration's attempt to achieve that goal violate the Constitution's Establishment Clause, which prohibits religious discrimination? President's attempted Muslim ban fed into the current culture of Islamophobia within the US and overseas. "S.C.", he posted on the social media platform.
The court found that revisions made by the White House did not eliminate the underlying problems of the ban, which targets six majority-Muslim countries: that it discriminates, whether by religion (as other courts have ruled) or nationality, and exceeds the president's authority.
Judges Michael Hawkins, Ronald Gould and Richard Paez - all appointed by President Bill Clinton - said the travel ban violated immigration law by discriminating against people based on their nationality when it comes to issuing visas and by failing to demonstrate that their entry would hurt American interests. The Trump administration has asked the Supreme Court to lift this injunction temporarily while the larger case makes its way through the court.

According to this Chicago Sun-Times report , the noise of a possible Jimmy Butler to Cleveland trade picked up steam on Tuesday. This week, the Cavaliers instead moved to subtract a key figure in their recent run of success.
Trump had issued his initial travel ban executive order a week into his presidency, unleashing chaos at airports, mass protests in the US and worldwide, condemnation from a broad spectrum of global leaders - and unprecedented attacks by the president on the federal judiciary after judges ruled against the ban. It ruled based on immigration law, not the Constitution.
Yesterday's ruling ultimately follows the government's Executive Order of 27 January which was hastily brought in by Trump earlier this year, covering a series of immigration measures.
The Justice Department declined to comment on the latest ruling.
The revised ban, the White House has said, took into account judges' cited reasons for putting it on hold, and predicted it would pass constitutional muster.
