- Appeals court sets Tuesday hearing to rule on Trump’s travel ban. (USA Today) — President Trump’s temporary travel ban faces a federal appeals court hearing Tuesday that will decide whether it can be reinstated or remain on hold. The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco announced late Monday that it will hold a hearing at 6 p.m. ET Tuesday on Trump’s Jan. 27 order, which suspends the U.S. refugee program for 120 days and bans travel from seven majority-Muslim countries for at least 90 days. Each side will have 30 minutes to make its case. Whatever the court decides, the legal battle will be far from over in a case that could end up being decided by the Supreme Court. The appeals court is only deciding whether to uphold a temporary restraining order issued by a Seattle judge, while a separate series of court hearings will decide later whether Trump’s order is legal.
