NEW YORK A federal appeals court today declined to reinstate President Trumps Muslim ban.

Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLUs Immigrants Rights Project, had this reaction to the Ninth
Circuit Court of Appeals decision:

The appeals courts refusal to reinstate the Muslim ban is correct. The governments erratic and
chaotic attempts to enforce this unconstitutional ban have taken a tremendous toll on innocent
individuals, our countrys values, and our standing in the world. We will keep fighting this un-
American executive order until it is permanently dismantled.
