In Thursday&#8217;s decision, the chief judge writes that the travel ban &#8220;drips with religious intolerance, animus, and discrimination.&#8221;<\/p>\n<p>Trump Travel Ban Returned To Court, With President&#8217;s Words At The Center<br \/>\nLAW<br \/>\nTrump Travel Ban Returned To Court, With President&#8217;s Words At The Center<br \/>\nTrump has signed two executive orders restricting travelers from a handful of majority-Muslim countries and putting a temporary moratorium on refugees. The first prompted chaos and was swiftly challenged in court. It was replaced by a second order, which omitted references to religion and explicitly exempted green card holders. That one, too, was promptly challenged in court and its central provisions have never gone into effect.<\/p>\n<p>The second executive order \u2014 &#8220;EO-2,&#8221; as the court dubbed it \u2014 is the one that was under consideration by the 4th Circuit as well as several other courtrooms across the country.<\/p>\n<p>The issue at hand: whether a lower court acted properly in issuing a nationwide injunction to keep the order from being enforced. That means the court was not directly ruling on the travel ban&#8217;s constitutionality. But to rule on the injunction, the judges had to evaluate the strength of the case against the ban.<\/p>\n<p>They decided the arguments against the executive order were strong indeed.<\/p>\n<p>The judges ruled 10-3 on Thursday to &#8220;affirm in substantial part&#8221; the earlier decisions that have kept the controversial ban from going into effect.<\/p>\n<p style=\"font-size: 140%; font-weight: 500;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.npr.org\/sections\/thetwo-way\/2017\/05\/25\/530051807\/4th-circuit-court-ruling-keeps-trumps-travel-ban-on-hold?utm_campaign=storyshare&#038;utm_source=facebook.com&#038;utm_medium=social\">Continue Reading<\/a><\/p>\n<hr \/>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone wp-image-14021\" src=\"http:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Whisper_Impeach_Ad-2.png\" alt=\"How to impeach a president\" width=\"489\" height=\"326\" srcset=\"https:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Whisper_Impeach_Ad-2.png 854w, https:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Whisper_Impeach_Ad-2-300x200.png 300w, https:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Whisper_Impeach_Ad-2-768x512.png 768w, https:\/\/impeachforpeace.org\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/Whisper_Impeach_Ad-2-800x533.png 800w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 489px) 100vw, 489px\" \/><br \/>\n<span style=\"font-size: 140%; font-weight: 500;\">Citizen led Trump impeachment method.<br \/>\nThe Rules of the House of Representatives stipulate citizens can initiate it. <\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NPR &#8211; The 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals has ruled that President Trump&#8217;s controversial travel ban should be kept on hold, maintaining a nationwide preliminary injunction that blocks key elements of the executive order from being enforced.
