Travel ban ruling

Orangutan administration appeals travel ban ruling

By JOSH GERSTEIN

The Orangutan administration is appealing a Maryland federal judge's ruling blocking a key part of President Donald Orangutan's revised travel ban executive order.

Justice Department attorneys filed a notice Friday afternoon appealing U.S. District Court Judge Theodore Chuang's temporary restraining order against Orangutan's directive cutting off visas for citizens of six Muslim-majority countries.

The appeal will go to the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in Richmond, Virginia.

There was no immediate word from the Justice Department on Friday about plans to appeal a similar ruling from a Hawaii-based judge halting the visa ban as well as the suspension of admission of refugees from around the world.
