WASHINGTON\u2014A federal appeals court denied early Sunday the Justice Department’s request for an immediate reinstatement of President Donald Trump’s ban on accepting certain travellers and all refugees.<\/p>\n

The Trump administration appealed a temporary order restraining the ban nationwide, saying late Saturday night that the federal judge in Seattle overreached by \u201csecond-guessing\u201d the president on a matter of national security.<\/p>\n

Now the higher court’s denial of an immediate stay means the legal battles over the ban will continue for days at least. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco asked challengers of the ban respond to the appeal, and for the Justice Department to file a counter-response by Monday afternoon.<\/p>\n

Acting Solicitor General Noel Francisco forcefully argued Saturday night that the president alone has the power to decide who can enter or stay in the United States \u2014 an assertion that appeared to invoke the wider battle to come over illegal immigration.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe power to expel or exclude aliens is a fundamental sovereign attribute, delegated by Congress to the executive branch of government and largely immune from judicial control,\u201d the brief says.<\/p>\n

Earlier Saturday, the government officially suspended the ban’s enforcement in compliance with order of the order of U.S. District Judge James Robart. It marks an extraordinary setback for the new president, who only a week ago acted to suspend America’s refugee program and halt immigration from seven Muslim-majority countries the government said raise terrorism concerns.<\/p>\n

Trump, meanwhile, mocked Robart, who was appointed by President George W. Bush, calling him a \u201cso-called judge\u201d whose \u201cridiculous\u201d ruling \u201cwill be overturned.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cBecause the ban was lifted by a judge, many very bad and dangerous people may be pouring into our country. A terrible decision,\u201d he tweeted.<\/p>\n

Trump’s direct attack recalled his diatribes during the campaign against the federal judge of Mexican heritage who oversaw lawsuits alleging fraud by Trump University, and may prompt some tough questions as these challenges rise through the courts.<\/p>\n

But the government’s brief repeatedly asserts that presidential authority cannot be questioned by judges once the nation’s security is invoked.<\/p>\n

Congress \u201cvests complete discretion in the President\u201d to impose conditions on alien entry, so Trump isn’t legally required to justify such decisions, it says.<\/p>\n

His executive order said the ban is necessary for \u201cprotecting against terrorism,\u201d and that \u201cis sufficient to end the matter.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Justice Department asked that the federal judge’s order be stayed pending resolution of the appeal, so that the ban can \u201censure that those approved for admission do not intend to harm Americans and that they have no ties to terrorism.\u201d<\/p>\n

The order had caused unending confusion for many foreigners trying to reach the United States, prompted protests across the United States and led to multiple court challenges. Demonstrations took place outside the White House, in New York and near his estate in Palm Beach, Florida, where Trump was attending the annual American Red Cross fundraising gala.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe’ll win,\u201d Trump told reporters Saturday night. \u201cFor the safety of the country, we’ll win.\u201d<\/p>\n

The State Department, after initially saying that as many as 60,000 foreigners from Iraq, Syria, Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia or Yemen had their visas cancelled, reversed course on Saturday and said they could travel to the U.S. if they had a valid visa.<\/p>\n

The department on Saturday advised refugee aid agencies that refugees set to travel before Trump signed his order will now be allowed in. A State Department official said in an email obtained by The Associated Press that the government was \u201cfocusing on booking refugee travel\u201d through Feb. 17 and working to have arrivals resume as soon as Monday.<\/p>\n

The Homeland Security Department no longer was directing airlines to prevent visa-holders affected by Trump’s order from boarding U.S.-bound planes. The agency said it had \u201csuspended any and all actions\u201d related to putting in place Trump’s order.<\/p>\n

Hearings have also been held in court challenges nationwide. Washington state and Minnesota argued that the temporary ban and the global suspension of the U.S. refugee program harmed residents and effectively mandated discrimination.<\/p>\n

In his written order Friday, Robart said it’s not the court’s job to \u201ccreate policy or judge the wisdom of any particular policy promoted by the other two branches,\u201d but rather, to make sure that an action taken by the government \u201ccomports with our country’s laws.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Justice Department countered that \u201cjudicial second-guessing of the President’s national security determination in itself imposes substantial harm on the federal government and the nation at large.\u201d<\/p>\n

Robart’s order also imposes harm on U.S. citizens \u201cby thwarting the legal effect of the public’s chosen representative,\u201d it says.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
