US appeals court upholds block on Trump travel ban
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleA US appeals court on Monday leaves in place a block on US President Donald Trump’s travel ban targeting citizens from six Muslim-majority nations — the latest in a string of judicial blows for the controversial measure.
The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit largely upholds an injunction on the ban issued by a lower court, but says the government is within its right to review the vetting process for people entering the country.
“Immigration, even for the president, is not a one-person show,” the ruling says. “The president, in issuing the executive order, exceeded the scope of the authority delegated to him by Congress.”
