A federal appeals court in San Francisco the 9th U S Circuit refused to reinstate President Donald Trump’s travel ban on travelers from seven Muslim nations saying the administration failed to show authority. The court noted serious constitutional questions and the potential to discriminate against Muslims and said statements by Trump and advisers could be considered. The ruling followed responses from critics including Governor Jay Inslee who said the states had beaten the administration in court.
