Carl Tobias: Court and Ban

carl tobias: Hawaii, which is suing to stop the ban, has argued that it will be harmful because families will be separated and university recruitment will be hampered, according to CTV. Earlier this month, the Supreme Court lifted temporary lower court orders that had prevented the latest ban from taking effect. The 77-page ruling released late Friday says Trump's proclamation makes no finding whatsoever that simply being from one of the countries cited in the ban makes someone a security risk. The status quo was maintained when the 9th Circuit stayed its decision, said Carl Tobias, a professor at the University of Richmond School of Law. Given the shockingly rapid volley of executive actions and court decisions, this is surely just the latest in a long series of battles to come. The ruling was unusual, but it's a unique case, he said, noting the Supreme Court has not set argument dates because it has not yet decided to grant an appeal. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
