The US appeals court has denied the justice departments request for an immediate reinstatement of Donald Trumps controversial travel ban.
The ninth US circuit court of appeals in San Francisco made the ruling early on Sunday morning, and asked those challenging the ban to respond to the appeal filed by the Trump administration late on Saturday night, and the justice department to file a counter-response by Monday afternoon.
Appellants request for an immediate administrative stay pending full consideration of the emergency motion for a stay pending appeal is denied, the ruling said.
The justice department had earlier filed an appeal against a judges order lifting the ban, as the new administrations flagship immigration policy threatened to unravel after one week.
