Trump's travel ban goes before federal appeals court in Virginia

U.S. President Donald Trump’s travel ban is to face a legal battle in front of federal judges in Richmond, Virginia.

Two months ago, a federal judge in Maryland put a nationwide hold on Trump's revised order which barred Muslims from six countries from entering the U.S. The judge concluded that the travel ban probably violated the Constitution, saying it disfavored Muslims. The US Justice Department appealed that decision in March. Now the case is in the hands of a federal appeals court considerably reshaped by six judges appointed by former President Barack Obama. The case is also likely to be appealed at the US Supreme Court, which will make the final decision.
