A U.S. appeals court on Monday questioned Justice Department attorneys over President Donald Trump’s temporary travel ban on people entering the United States from six Muslim-majority countries, the second such court to review Trump’s directive over the past week. The March order was Trump’s second effort to craft travel restrictions. As part of that ruling, Watson cited Trump’s campaign statements on Muslims as evidence that his executive order was discriminatory. “There is no case like this, is there?” 9th Circuit Judge Richard Paez asked at the appeals court hearing in Seattle on Monday. Circuit Court of Appeals in Virginia reviewed a Maryland judge’s ruling that blocked the 90-day entry restrictions.
