Federal Court Deals Blow to Trump Travel Ban
--------------------------------------------

Back in the U.S., a federal court struck another blow Thursday to
President Trump's ban on refugees and travelers from six majority-Muslim
nations. The unanimous ruling by three judges on the 9th Circuit Court
of Appeals rejected an attempt by the Trump administration to deny visas
to grandparents, aunts, uncles and cousins who wish to travel from the
affected countries to join relatives living in the U.S. The Justice
Department said it will challenge the latest ruling on the travel ban
when the Supreme Court hears the case next month.
