SAN FRANCISCO (AP) — The legal fight over President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations is on hold after the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals declined to block a lower-court ruling that suspended the ban, allowing previously barred travelers to continue coming to the United States.
In a rebuke to the Trump administration Thursday, the three federal appellate judges sided with the states of Washington and Minnesota on nearly every matter, rejecting nearly all of the administration's arguments in favor of reinstating the ban, meaning the case could now shift to the U.S. Supreme Court.
They judges also did not shy away from the larger constitutional questions raised by the order, rejecting the administration's claim of presidential authority, questioning its motives and concluding that the order was unlikely to survive legal challenges.
.@CNN is reporting that at least one of the appeals court judges hearing Trump's travel ban case has needed extra security due to threats.
In a tweet Friday, Trump called the decision disgraceful. Trump quoted an article by Benjamin Wittes, editor-in-chief of the Lawfare blog. It reads, "Remarkably, in the entire opinion, the panel did not bother even to cite this (the) statute." Trump tweeted, "A disgraceful decision!"
Moments after the ruling Thursday, Trump tweeted, "SEE YOU IN COURT," adding that "THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!"
SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!
But it is unclear what Trump's next move will be. The Justice Department said it is reviewing the decision and considering its options. It was the first day on the job for new Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
The lower court action so far is temporary and hasn't resolved broader questions about the legality of Trump's order. While the ban is on hold, refugees and people from seven majority-Muslim nations identified in the president's Jan. 27 executive order can continue traveling to the U.S.
The appellate judges noted compelling public interests on both sides.
"On the one hand, the public has a powerful interest in national security and in the ability of an elected president to enact policies. And on the other, the public also has an interest in free flow of travel, in avoiding separation of families, and in freedom from discrimination."
The administration could appeal the ruling to a larger 9th Circuit panel or bypass that step and go straight to the U.S. Supreme Court. That could put the decision over whether to keep the temporary restraining order suspending the ban in the hands of a divided court that has a vacancy. Trump's nominee, Neil Gorsuch, cannot be confirmed in time to take part in any consideration of the ban, which would expire in 90 days unless it is changed.
The ban also faces dozens of other lawsuits, some filed by would-be refugees directly affected by it.
Trump's lawyers made a tactical blunder in giving no reasons for his travel ban & insisting judges have no power to review it
Stephen Vladeck, a professor at the University of Texas School of Law, said two footnotes near the end of the opinion struck him as most significant because they challenged the government's assertion that national security was at stake. Without evidence of the threat migrants would pose to security, the court couldn't balance that assertion against harm they would suffer if not allowed to enter the country.
"It's not enough for the president to simply proclaim that the executive order is necessary to protect national security," Vladeck said, paraphrasing the ruling. "He needs to give us at least some basis for agreeing with him."
The 9th Circuit judges rejected the administration's argument that courts did not have the authority to review the president's immigration and national security decisions. They said the administration failed to show that the order met constitutional requirements to provide notice or a hearing before restricting travel. And they said the administration presented no evidence that any foreigner from the seven countries was responsible for a terrorist attack in the U.S.
"Despite the district court's and our own repeated invitations to explain the urgent need for the Executive Order to be placed immediately into effect, the Government submitted no evidence to rebut the States' argument that the district court's order merely returned the nation temporarily to the position it has occupied for many previous years," the panel wrote.
Judges refuse to reimpose travel ban… Harvard Law professor emeritus Alan Dershowitz gives his take https://t.co/LNcY70KjYQ
Last week, U.S. District Judge James Robart in Seattle issued a temporary restraining order halting the ban after Washington state and Minnesota sued. The ban temporarily suspended the nation's refugee program and immigration from countries that have raised terrorism concerns.
Asked to respond to Trump's tweet, Washington Attorney General Bob Ferguson said, "We have seen him in court twice and we're two for two, that's number one. And in my view, the future of the constitution is at stake."
Justice Department lawyers appealed to the 9th Circuit after Robart's ruling, arguing that the president has the constitutional power to restrict entry to the United States and that the courts cannot second-guess his determination that such a step was needed to prevent terrorism.
The states said Trump's travel ban harmed individuals, businesses and universities. Citing Trump's campaign promise to stop Muslims from entering the U.S., they said the ban unconstitutionally blocked entry to people based on religion.
The appeals court sided with the administration on just one issue. The states had argued that 9th Circuit precedent prohibits review of temporary restraining orders. The panel said that the intense public interest and uncertainty over how long the court case might take made it appropriate for the court to consider the federal government's appeal.
Jessica Levinson, a professor at Loyola Law School, said the ruling was thoughtful and supported by a great deal of legal precedent. More important, though, it was unanimous even though the panel included judges appointed by Democratic and Republican presidents.
"It's a very important message that judges are not just politicians in robes and not just political hacks," Levinson said.
After the ban was put on hold, the State Department quickly said people from the seven countries — Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen — with valid visas could travel to the U.S.

Chicago rapper Lil Bibby recently sat down for an interview with Vlad TV. He talked about how out of control the violence has gotten in his city and how young the offenders have gotten.
Bibby, who is 22, said that when he was coming up most kids started getting involved in gangs and murders at 16 or 17. Now they're doing it at 12 or 13.
President Trump tweeted in January that if the violence isn't brought under control he would send in federal troops.
"If Chicago doesn't fix the horrible "carnage" going on, 228 shootings in 2017 with 42 killings (up 24% from 2016), I will send in the Feds!" Trump wrote.
When asked his thoughts on Trump's comments Bibby said he agreed with him.
"Shit, it's sad to say ... send them motherfuckers in," the "You Ain't Gang" rapper told Vlad. "These my people. My people still out there doing the crazy. But shit, that's probably what you need to do."
Bibby believes that if gang members saw troops on their street it would curtail the violence dramatically.
"Motherfuckers ain't gon' be coming through doing no crazy shit. I'm telling you that," he reasoned. "As a matter of fact, on our blocks the police used to park right there. Wherever we was all hanging at they used to park right there. Because if they leave it'll be some motherfucking shots fired.
"So, that's the only reason how you can stop the violence ... if you put them people out there. But soon as they leave and the people start finding out their schedule, that's the times they gonna try to come through and do that crazy shit. But if you put them people out there, ain't gon' be no crime."
According to HeyJackass.com, a website that monitors crime in Chicago, there have been62 homicidesand a total of372 people shot in the city so far this year, and we're just over a month in.
With his new album "I Decided" in stores, Big Sean, stopped by The Breakfast Club to promote it and talk about other topics.

After time to reflect and possibly because of public backlash, the group Migos have issued an apology for negative comments they made about ILoveMakonnen during a Rolling Stone interview.
As we previously reported, Takeoff, Quavo and Offset were asked about the support Makonnen has gotten since coming out as gay in January.
"That's because the world is fucked up," Offset told RS.
Quavo questioned how could the singer have possibly dealt drugs if he was gay. "He first came out talking about trapping and selling Molly, doing all that," he said. "That's wack, bro."
The group later issued a joint apology via their official Instagram and Twitter pages.
"We always been about being original and staying true. Staying true to yourself goes a long way," the statement begins . "We are all fans of Makonnen's music and we wish he didn't feel like he ever had to hide himself. We feel the world is fucked up that people feel like they have to hide and we're asked to comment on someone's sexuality. We have no problem with anyone's sexual preference. We love all people, gay or straight and we apologize if we offended anyone."
Kid Cudi was the musical guest on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon Wednesday, February 8. He used the occasion to perform the song "Kitchen" off of his latest album titled "Passion, Pain and Demon Slayin."
