Court of Appeal Rejects White House bid to overturn Seattle judge's' halt on his immigration ban amid country-wide protests
The US federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's request to reinstate a travel ban blocked by a federal judge on Friday.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco instead asked both the state of Washington and the Trump administration early Sunday Feb 05,2017 to file more arguments by Monday afternoon Feb 06,2017
The Trump administration appealed a federal judge's ruling that temporarily placed the ban on hold.
The late night ruling means the travel ban will remain suspended until the full case has been heard.
The court gave the White House and the states challenging it a deadline of Monday to present more arguments.
Two states argued that the travel ban, affecting people from seven mainly-Muslim countries, was unconstitutional.
In its appeal, the Justice Department said Judge James Robart had overreached by "second guessing" the president on a national security matter.
It also argued that only the president could decide who can enter or stay in the US
