  • Appeals Court Skeptical of Trump Administration’s Defense of Executive Order Restricting Travel. (NBC News) –  A majority of the judges on a federal appeals court seemed skeptical of the government’s defense for President Donald Trump’s executive order restricting travel, during courtroom arguments Monday. The Justice Department urged the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond to lift a stay imposed by a Maryland federal judge March 16th blocking the administration from carrying out the executive order. Thirteen members of the appeals court heard the case, bypassing the normal first step of a hearing before a three-judge panel of the court. Jeffrey Wall, the acting solicitor general, representing the Trump administration, argued that the executive order had a legitimate national security purpose, allowing the government to assess the reliability of background information on visa applicants from six countries associated with terrorism.
