The Supreme Court of the United States has finally and conclusively affirmed that Donald Trump’s “travel ban” Executive Order is both lawful and constitutional and was made within the scope of his authority as President of the United States.
A Federal Judge in Virginia has upheld President Trump’s second ‘travel ban’ Executive Order, in a ruling which flatly contradicts rulings made previously by two other Federal Judges in Hawaii and Maryland.
This comes shortly after President Trump himself has said that he intends to fight for the Executive Order all the way up to the Supreme Court.
In the last few hours a US Federal Judge in Hawaii, Judge Derrick Watson, has imposed a temporary restraining Order on President Trump’s second ‘travel ban’ Executive Order.
I do not yet have the transcript of Judge Watson’s decision. However I understand that Judge Watson sought to use comments made by various persons associated with the administration – including possibly the President himself – to interpret the Order as discriminating against Muslims.
As the Trump administration had previously indicated that the President would do, Donald Trump today has issued a new ‘travel ban’ Executive Order replacing his previous ‘travel ban’ Executive Order, which has been the subject of legal proceedings.
The complete text of the new Executive Order is provided below.
The new Executive Order is a much lengthier document than its predecessor as it carefully responds to concerns raised by the previous Order’s critics and by the courts.
Yesterday Friday 10th February 2017 I wrote a brief analysis of the Judgment of the appeal court of the 9th circuit in the case involving US President Trump’s ‘travel ban’ Executive Order.
Whilst the decision of the appeal court of the 9th Circuit went against President Trump yesterday by refusing to reinstate immediately his ‘travel ban’ Executive Order, its Judgment strongly suggests to me that he will eventually get it reinstated.
The legal moves and counter-moves in the court case concerning Donald Trump’s ‘travel ban’ Executive Order may appear complicated, but in reality they follow standard practice. Since there are some misunderstandings in reporting them I will provide a brief explanation.

The legal moves and counter-moves in respect of Donald Trump’s ‘travel ban’ Executive Order – which includes the stay imposed on its enforcement by a Federal Judge on Friday – should be welcomed as in the present fraught atmosphere they are probably the only way of resolving the question of its legality.
Despite the best efforts of the Democrats, US President Trump’s picks for cabinet posts appear to be edging towards confirmation by the Senate, with what has turned out to be his most controversial appointment, Jeff Sessions for Attorney General, finally clearing approval by the relevant Senate committee.
