The Trump administration asks SC to rebuild travel ban

Washington, June 2: The Supreme Court of Donald Trump ruled the president to revise the executive order of the controversial travel proposal, which led to lower courts discrimination. In filings on Thursday night, the Justice Department asked the high court to temporarily lift injunctions that bar officials from carrying out Trump's directive to suspend visa issuance to citizens of the six majority-Muslim countries -- and halt the flow of refugees to the US from across the globe, Politico news reported. 
The Trump Administration urged judges to add legitimacy to travel ban to the High Court's dock. "We have asked the Supreme Court to investigate this important case and the executive order of President Trump is within its legal jurisdiction, to secure the Nation and to protect our communities from terrorism," Law Department spokesman Sarah Ishaure Flowers said in a statement. "The President is not required to admit people from countries that sponsor or shelter terrorism, until he determines that they can be properly vetted and do not pose a security risk to the United States."
Thursday's move comes a week after the Virginia-based 4th Circuit federal appeals court ruled, 10-3, against Trump's bid to lift one of the pair of court orders blocking the visa ban, reports Politico news. The court majority savaged Trump's directive, saying it "drips with religious intolerance, animus and discrimination". Another court order, which blocks both the visa ban and the refugee halt, is on appeal to the California-based 9th Circuit. A three-judge panel of that court heard the case last month, but has not yet ruled.
Trump issued his initial travel ban order just seven days after taking office on January 20. It was quickly neutralized by a series of court orders. The elimination of Iran from the original list of seven countries affected by the visa ban, revised directing at the beginning of March emerged, excluding existing visa holders. Despite the changes, Federal judges in Hawaii and Maryland blocked critical parts of the policy before it came into force.
