The ruling by the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals is out, and it unanimously upheld a temporary suspension of President Donald Trump’s order that restricted travel from seven Muslim-majority countries. The ruling came in a challenge to Trump’s order filed by the states of Washington and Minnesota.
The U.S. Supreme Court will likely determine the case’s final outcome.
In its ruling, the Court found that the U.S. will remain open to refugees and visa holders from seven Muslim-majority countries while the Trump administration fights to reinstate a travel ban in the name of national security.
The key excerpt from the ruling:
To rule on the Government’s motion, we must consider several factors, including whether the Government has shown that it is likely to succeed on the merits of its appeal, the degree of hardship caused by a stay or its denial, and the public interest in granting or denying a stay. We assess those factors in light of the limited evidence put forward by both parties at this very preliminary stage and are mindful that our analysis of the hardships and public interest in this case involves particularly sensitive and weighty concerns on both sides. Nevertheless, we hold that the Government has not shown a likelihood of success on the merits of its appeal, nor has it shown that failure to enter a stay would cause irreparable injury, and we therefore deny its emergency motion for a stay.
Developing.
