International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump
2017-05-08T14:29:32-04:00https://images.c-span.org/Files/835/20170508142947001_hd.jpgThe Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals heard oral argument in International Refugee Assistance Project v. Trump, a case concerning President Trump’s revised travel ban executive order issued in March 2017. The court was considering an appeal of a Maryland U.S. District judge’s ruling blocking the president’s ban on issuing visas to citizens of six Muslim-majority countries. President Trump’s revision imposes a 90-day ban on travelers, but excludes Iraq from the list of countries and green card holders. It also applies only to those seeking new visas, not those with existing visas, and replaces an indefinite ban on refugees from Syria with a 120-day freeze.
The first executive order issued in January 2017 temporarily barred U.S. entry for citizens of the Muslim-majority countries Iraq, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Libya, Yemen, and Syria, and suspended the U.S. refugee program.
On May 25, 2017, the court upheld the block on the president’s ban.
