Federal Appeals Court to Hear Arguments on Trump Travel Ban

All 15 judges on the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals are slated to hear the case. In March, federal Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii ordered a nationwide halt to Trump’s second attempt at a travel ban, ruling it likely violated the Constitution’s Establishment Clause by discriminating against Muslims.
