Statement from AG Jepsen on Appeals Court Ruling on President Trump’s Executive Order
Attorney General George Jepsen today issued the following statement on the ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit that upholds the District Court’s temporary restraining order that has halted President Donald Trump's executive order barring individuals from seven majority-Muslim countries from entering the United States:
“I applaud the Court of Appeals for upholding the order preventing enforcement of President Trump’s ill-conceived and unconstitutional travel ban. The ban, and the President’s inappropriate and unfortunate attacks on the judges reviewing it, violate our most cherished American values. I will continue to participate in legal challenges to the ban in this case and in others.”
