A U.S. federal appeals court on Thursday rejected the Trump administration's limited view of who is allowed into the country under the president's travel ban. The appeals panel wrote that under typical court rules, its ruling would not take effect for at least 52 days. "The Supreme Court has stepped in to correct these lower courts before, and we will now return to the Supreme Court to vindicate the executive branch's duty to protect the nation," the agency said in a statement. International passengers arrive at Washington Dulles International Airport June 26, 2017, after the U.S. Supreme Court granted parts of the Trump administration's emergency request to put its travel ban into effect. Lawyers for the government and the state of Hawaii, which challenged the travel ban, argued the case in Seattle last week.
