BREAKING: Appeals Court Upholds Suspension of Trump's Immigration Order
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals unanimously upheld a temporary suspension of President Donald Trump's executive order restricting travelers from seven Muslim-majority nations.
Trump issued the executive order, which placed a 90-day pause on immigrants from Iraq, Iran, Syria, Yemen, Libya, Somalia and Sudan, on January 27. The order also imposed a 120-day pause on all refugees, and an indefinite pause on refugees from Syria.
Last Friday, Judge James Robart, of the Federal District Court in Seattle, issued a temporary restraining order after Washington state and Minnesota both sued.
Attorneys from the Justice Department appealed Robart’s ruling, arguing that the president’s executive power gives him the authority to place restrictions on people coming into the country.
It is possible the case will next be reviewed by the Supreme Court.
President Trump took to Twitter to react shortly after the court announced its decision.
