A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, dealing another legal setback to the new administration's immigration policy._ by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Updated: Dec 13, 2023 12:05 PM UTCPublished: Feb 10, 2017 10:50 PM UTC A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, dealing another legal setback to the new administration's immigration policy. by [Zeke Miller](https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/) ## Zeke Miller Updated: Dec 13, 2023 12:05 PM UTCPublished: Feb 10, 2017 10:50 PM UTC The White House offered conflicting information on whether or not it will [appeal a federal appeals court ruling](http://time.com/4667917/donald-trump-travel-ban-supreme-court/) sustaining a temporary restraining order on his executive order temporarily banning refugees and immigrants from seven countries. A White House official said Friday that the Trump administration will not appeal the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals’ Thursday [ruling to overturn the block on the enforcement](http://time.com/4667127/donald-trump-immigration-ban-court-case/) of the order to the U.S. Supreme Court. Instead, the official said, the Department of Justice will [argue the merits of upholding the ban](http://time.com/4667525/donald-trump-travel-ban-appeal/) before a federal district court in Washington—the same court that issued the restraining order last week. But [another report gave a conflicting account](https://www.bloomberg.com/politics/articles/2017-02-10/trump-says-new-action-on-immigration-to-be-issued-next-week), indicating that the Supreme Court appeal may still be possible. Pending the confirmation of Trump’s Supreme Court nominee [Neil Gorsuch](http://time.com/4656244/neil-gorsuch-scotus-colorado-liberals/), the high court is divided in a 4-4 split between conservative- and liberal-leaning justices, putting the likelihood of success at the Supreme Court in doubt. Taking the case back to the lower court to argue the legality of the ban provides more time for Gorsuch’s nomination, as well as an opportunity for the Trump Administration to pursue alternative avenues. Speaking to reporters aboard Air Force One Friday en route to Florida with [Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe](http://time.com/4666848/donald-trump-shinzo-abe-press-conference/), Trump said he is considering signing a “brand new order” on immigration, one that could skirt some of the legal potholes that have bedeviled the first. “The unfortunate part is that it takes time statutorily, but we will win that battle. We also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order,” he said. He added he’d likely wait until Monday or Tuesday to announce his next steps. ## Transcript [ MUSIC ] ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4667896/white-house-travel-ban-supreme-court-appeal/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4667896/white-house-travel-ban-supreme-court-appeal/"},"headline":"Next Move on Travel Ban Case Remains Unclear","datePublished":"2017-02-10T22:50:08.000Z","dateModified":"2023-12-13T12:05:50.000Z","description":"A 4-4 court might have split","url":"https://time.com/4667896/white-house-travel-ban-supreme-court-appeal/","keywords":["White House","Supreme Court","Immigration","justice","Donald Trump","travel ban"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt58bcb8ef3b9bf47b/6988b9c58fd2ee26f9355bed/donald-trump-immigration-ban-supreme-court.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Zeke Miller","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/zeke-j-miller/"}],"articleSection":"Politics","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt58bcb8ef3b9bf47b/6988b9c58fd2ee26f9355bed/donald-trump-immigration-ban-supreme-court.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"US-JAPAN-TRUMP-ABE-CONFERENCE","caption":"US President Donald Trump holds a joint press conference with Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe on Feb. 10, 2017, at the White House in Washington, DC.","creditText":"BRENDAN SMIALOWSKI—AFP/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/section/politics/","name":"Politics"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"/tag/white-house/","name":"White House"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":3,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4667896/white-house-travel-ban-supreme-court-appeal/","name":"Next Move on Travel Ban Case Remains Unclear"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"Federal Appeals Refuses to Reinstate President Trump's Travel Ban","description":"A federal appeals court refused Thursday to reinstate President Donald Trump's ban on travelers from seven predominantly Muslim nations, dealing another legal setback to the new administration's immigration policy.","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/QN8X6onu/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2017-02-10T00:53:47.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/QN8X6onu.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4667896/white-house-travel-ban-supreme-court-appeal/","duration":"PT55S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4667896/white-house-travel-ban-supreme-court-appeal/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
