California student Sara Yarjani, right, is greeted by sister Sahar Muranovic at LAX on Sunday. Yarjani, who was born in Iran and lives in Austria, was detained at the airport and deported last week. A panel of U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals judges pushed back on the notion that the state of Washington should not be allowed to sue on behalf of its resident immigrants to block President Trump's travel ban. "His wife was allowed to sue,” said Judge William Canby, referring to the case Kerry vs. Din. The exchange strongly suggests the judges believe the legal claim filed by Washington state lawyers will not be thrown out on standing.
