Executive Order on Immigration: Information and Resources

Courts (Maryland and Hawai'i) temporarily prevent the Government from enforcing the “travel ban” imposed by Executive Order 13780 [11]. The Government appealed both the Maryland and Hawai'i orders. On May 25, 2017, the Fourth Circuit Court of Appeals upheld [12] the Maryland District Court's preliminary injunction, meaning that the Executive Order travel ban will continue to be blocked for now. However, Attorney General Jeff Sessions has announced [13] that the Department of Justice will ask the Supreme Court to review the Fourth Circuit Court's ruling. 3/15/2017: Hawaii District Court Blocks Executive Order [14] ●
