US court denies Trump ban restoration request

Author: Reuters

WASHINGTON: United States (US) appeal court late on Saturday denied an emergency appeal from the US Department of Justice to restore the immigration order from President Donald Trump barring citizens from seven mainly Muslim countries and temporarily banning refugees.

“Appellants’ request for an immediate administrative stay pending full consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal is denied,” the ruling by the US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit said.

It said that a reply from the department in support of the emergency appeal was due on Monday.

The department filed the appeal a day after a federal judge in Seattle ordered Trump’s travel ban to be lifted. The president’s Jan 27th order had barred admission of citizens from the seven nations for 90 days.
