News Alert: Federal court rules against revised travel ban
From CNN Breaking News@VERT to no-reply@siteservices.cnn.com on Monday, June 12, 2017 10:54:10
Another federal court has ruled against President Donald Trump's revised executive order limiting travel from six predominately Muslim countries.
The ruling from a three-judge panel of the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals[1] is yet another stinging loss from a court that similarly refused to reinstate Trump's original executive order on travel in February.
The judges largely affirmed a Hawaii judge's decision from March which found the core provisions of the revised executive order -- temporarily blocking all refugees and foreign nationals from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the US -- likely violated the Constitution because its primary purpose was to disfavor Muslims.
Monday's ruling will no doubt be appealed to the Supreme Court, which is already considering a similar case[2] from the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia.
