US: Trump’s travel ban blocked again by US judiciary
The block on US president Donald Trump’s revised executive order temporarily banning nationals from 6 countries from traveling to the US has been upheld by a second US federal appeals court. The San Francisco-based Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals ruled June 12 that Trump had exceeded his authority and that it was “reasonable” to conclude the president was seeking “to disfavour a particular religion.” The ruling follows a similar ruling recently issued by the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, and leaves the Trump administration with little recourse but to fight for the executive order in the US Supreme Court. The Ninth Circuit Court said Trump has failed to provide “sufficient justification to suspend the entry of more than 180m people on the basis of nationality.” <br/>
