A federal appeals court has maintained the freeze on President Trump’s controversial immigration order, meaning previously barred refugees and citizens from seven Muslim-majority countries can continue entering the U.S.
A panel with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit upheld the ruling of U.S. District Judge James Robart, who had decided Friday that Trump’s temporary travel ban should be put on hold. The Department of Homeland Security soon suspended all enforcement of Trump’s controversial directive.
The Justice Department, representing the Trump administration, could now ask the Supreme Court — which often defers to the president on matters of immigration and national security — to intervene. The Supreme Court, though, remains one justice short, and many see it as ideologically split 4-4. A tie would keep in place whatever the appeals court decides.

Expected from the 9th circus. Trump will outsmart them. Betcha.
Fire DHS agents that abide by the Court ruling.
These judoes r no better than the terrorists themselves There should be an open season on removing them.
The globalists were never going to give up their power easily.
I think Civil War II began tonight
Change is coming. Sometimes people make it harder and more people get hurt.
How? It goes to the Supreme Court which will probably split 4-4.
The law is crystal clear and air tight on behalf of President Trump.
No one is of course surprised the 9th circus would uphold a restraining order by a liberal judge in Seattle.
One federal judge can override national security. That’s a precedent.
A bad one.
Pure politicization
How the hell is this allowed to continue?
In direct contradiction to federal law and prior court ruling such as the 2012 decision against Arizona where they said that federal government sets and enforces immigration law and policy.
So these ass clowns believe we can not control our own borders? I don’t see this turning out too well.
Seems to me we can still do some extreme vetting?
Might I add... LEFT WING COMMIE BASTARDS..!!
He can rewrite another EO.
I suppose that Trump’s only option is to ramp up the illegals deportations.
Amazing that they did not take laws into effect, rather their feelings of what should be. This court needs to be brought into check by beginning impeachment proceedings if grounds exist. Further, that the state of Washington can decide the safety of 49 other states is mind boggling.
I havenb't read it yet, except to see that it's unanimous, and 29 pages long.
Keep it out of high court for now-Keep deporting the IA’s who have stolen American citizen identities
Enforce the order, ignore the court.
