Federal Appeals Court to Hear Arguments on Trump Travel Ban
-----------------------------------------------------------

A federal court will hear arguments today on President Trump's attempt
to ban refugees and immigrants from six majority-Muslim nations. 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.
