L.A. federal judge orders a temporary halt to part of Trump’s travel ban

LA Times  

A federal judge in Los Angeles has added another legal ruling against President Trump’s controversial suspension of travel from a group of predominantly Muslim countries, issuing an emergency order that forbids government officials from enforcing many of the new rules. Using sweeping, unambiguous language, U.S. District Judge Andre Birotte Jr. on Tuesday night granted a temporary restraining order against the executive order Trump signed late last week. Finding that the plaintiffs stand a good chance of prevailing when the case is heard in court and are “likely to suffer irreparable harm” if he didn’t act, Birotte instructed that the plaintiffs be allowed entry into the U.S. Birotte, however, went further, granting a request from the plaintiffs’ lawyers that his ruling be applied to anyone trying to enter the U.S. on a valid immigrant visa from the seven countries included in Trump’s ban. The judge’s language In making their case to Birotte, attorneys for the Yemeni families in the current case argued Trump’s order improperly targets Muslims based on their religion, calling the efforts to ban immigrants “illegal discriminatory actions motivated by religious animus.” They argued in court papers the executive order violates various tenets of the Constitution, including the plaintiffs’ right to due process. joel.rubin@latimes.com ALSO For victims of San Bernardino terrorist attack, conflicting views about Trump policy in their name San Francisco sues Trump over executive order targeting sanctuary cities Spurred by Trump’s immigration crackdown, L.A.
