President Trumps extreme vetting policy is a temporary, legal and smart use of his national security and immigration powers, the Justice Department said in its legal defense, filed Monday evening, that argues the courts are meddling with the separation of powers.
The administrations lawyers are asking an appeals court to lift a lower judges restraining order that has defanged most of Mr. Trumps Jan. 27 executive order imposing the new vetting policy.
The lawyers said immigration law gives Mr. Trump expansive powers to decide whom to let into the U.S. and whom to block, and said that while people who reach the U.S. do have some rights, those who are applying from overseas have no claims.
They also said the State Department has the power, at any time, to revoke visas, and foreigners dont even have a legal right to go to court.
Aliens outside the United States have no due process rights with respect to their attempt to gain entry into this country, the lawyers wrote.
