NEW YORK (Reuters) - A U.S. appeals court on Thursday ruled against President Donald Trump's effort to broadly enforce a temporary travel and refugee ban on people from certain Muslim-majority countries that the Republican president said was necessary for national security.

 

A three-judge 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals panel said that the government did not persuasively explain why the travel ban should be enforced against grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins from the six countries.

 

In the latest legal back and forth over the President's controversial executive order, the court also said that refugee resettlement agencies have a "bona fide" relationship with refugees, which under a standard set by the U.S. Supreme Court, should allow them into the United States.

It is good to see the US system's 'Checks and Balances' working as they should.

 

The "Travel Ban" is nothing more than a policy of religious discrimination masquerading as a national security issue.

 

I have said it before and (unfortunately) need to say it again;

 

Donald Trump is an ever-expanding cloud of toxic waste that defiles everything it touches.

The checks and balances isn't working until Trump is fully prosecuted for conspiring with a foreign power to interfere in the presidential election and obstructing justice with respect to that charge.  Just look at the statement of Trump's FBI stooge:  Stooge Chief of FBI whitewashes Trump's role in presidential election hack and investigation

Another set back for Trump's wonderful plan to make America great again.
