A United States federal appeals court has refused to cancel the suspension of a travel ban ordered by President Donald Trump. The executive order from January 27 bans travelers from seven mostly Muslim nations. Last week, a judge in Seattle, Washington issued a temporary restraining order that halted the ban. The federal government appealed that decision. On Thursday, the appeals court upheld the lower court’s suspension of the ban. All three judges agreed in the ruling against the government.
