Travel Ban: Appeals Court

travel ban: Video U.S. appeals court refuses to reinstate Trump's travel ban Reuters In a 10-3 vote, the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals said the ban likely violates the Constitution, according to Globe and Mail. And it upheld a lower court ruling that blocks the Republican administration from cutting off visas for people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Trump's administration vowed to take the fight to the U.S. Supreme Court. The Richmond, Virginia-based 4th Circuit is the first appeals court to rule on the revised travel ban unveiled in March. A second appeals court, the 9th U.S. Circuit based in San Francisco, is also weighing the revised travel ban after a federal judge in Hawaii blocked it. Trump's administration had hoped it would avoid the legal problems that the first version from January encountered. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
