Court Refuses to Reinstate Travel Ban, Dealing Trump Another Legal Loss

Trump's bid to reinstate his controversial travel ban has been struck down by a federal Appeals court.
Earlier this month Trump made an executive order banning travel into the U.S. from seven predominantly Muslim countries. When a federal judge issued a halt on certain restrictions of his issue, Trump swiftly retaliated. The article delves into the aftermath of the review, and contention surrounding Trumps and the courts decisions.

The article outlines the decisions of the federal courts and the heated responses of the president. The court decided in a unanimous vote that the order "did not advance national security" as "...the administration had shown no evidence that anyone form the seven nations - Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen - had committed terrorist acts in the United States." In an aside, the courts rebuked Trumps challenge that courts should have interfered in his executive issue stating that their involvement checking executive orders is imperative for our form of democracy. Opinions on both
sides are heatedly noted.

The articles goes into the account of consequences immediately following the ban as slews of people were suddenly barred entrance. The court is still deciding on certain details of the issue as well as larger implications. Notably, it is deferring the question of whether the ban is unconstitutional because of its target on a specific religious group. The court is still deciding if some restrictions should be implemented indefinitely, as well as considering the addition of more countries being added to the list.

This article highlights key contention between executive and judicial players at the highest level of our government. Despite a stay being placed on his order, I expect that the after effects of our president's actions will have lasting negative effects on our foreign policy. As the final verdict is still out on certain aspects, this could could go down as a first instance of Trump bullying other branches into agreement. If the spirit of anti-muslim/anti-brown people continues to infect the united states discourse and policy I think you could easily refer to this article as an account.
