b*****d 发帖数: 61690 | 1 President Donald Trump's revised travel ban executive order is under fire in
courtrooms across the country as states and advocacy groups press judges to
block key provisions of the new directive —before it's set to kick in just
after midnight Thursday.
Six states are now involved in a lawsuit asking the Seattle-based federal
judge who imposed the broadest injunction on Trump's original travel ban to
extend his ruling to cover parts of the president's revised directive,
signed March 6.
"Injunctions are not suggestions. When a court enjoins a defendant from
enforcing policies, the defendant cannot evade the injunction by announcing
that it will continue only some of the illegal policies. Yet that is what
defendants attempt here," Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson
argued in a new motion filed Monday. "The Court should reject this attempt
to evade its authority and should exercise its broad power to enforce its
injunction."
Washington state has been joined by Maryland, Massachusetts, Minnesota,
Oregon, New York and now California in that case, before U.S. District Court
Judge James Robart. The states asked Robart to schedule a hearing for
Tuesday on their emergency motion. However, he gave the Justice Department
until Tuesday evening to respond, leaving open the question of when and
whether a hearing will be held.
Other federal judges in Hawaii and Maryland have set hearings for Wednesday
on separate requests to head off Trump's new order, which suspends refugee
admissions and blocks issuance of new visas to citizens of six Muslim-
majority countries: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The
redrafted order exempts existing visa holders and removes Iraq from the list
of nations whose citizens are subject to the travel ban. | k***n 发帖数: 1390 | 2 还是我们川爹最牛逼,都是joking,照样狠狠地打了左逼的脸,感谢川爹,让我们华人
