President Donald Trump’s latest travel ban on travellers from six largely Muslim countries is “unconstitutionally tainted with animus toward Islam,” a federal appeals court ruled Thursday, delivering another blow to the policy. Circuit Court of Appeals found that Trump exceeded the scope of his authority with the latest ban. The U.S. Supreme Court has already agreed to hear the travel ban case in April. In December, the high court said the ban could be fully enforced while appeals made their way through the courts. The ruling was the second time the 4th Circuit has rejected a travel ban.
