Trump Appeals Travel Ban to the Supreme Court

June 1, 2017 at 11:16 pm EDT By Taegan Goddard Leave a Comment

“The Trump administration Thursday night asked the Supreme Court to reinstate its travel ban blocking entry from six Muslim-majority countries,” CNN reports.

“In its filing, the administration asked the nine justices to consider the legality of President Trump’s executive order, a move that appeals a ruling by the 4th Circuit that upheld a nationwide halt to the ban.”
