Listen to the arguments live here:
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco will hear 30-minute arguments on whether to restore Trump’s controversial executive order from U.S. Justice Department lawyers and opposing attorneys for the states of Minnesota and Washington. A number of legal briefs opposing the ban have also been filed with the court, including ones from former high-ranking U.S. national security officials and dozens of tech giants. Meanwhile, The Intercept reported Tuesday that “more than 150 former federal prosecutors have expressed their disapproval of Trump’s overreach as well.”
As the New York Times explains, “[t]he arguments will take place by telephone, probably because the judges and lawyers are scattered around the country.”
