It is the latest twist of the legal wrangling touched off by President Donald Trump ’ s ban, first announced in January with little notice and widely criticized as discriminatory against Muslims . Trump says it is needed to keep out terrorists .
In the new ruling , the US Ninth Circuit of Appeals , based in San Francisco, upheld a ruling by a court in Hawaii, a decision against which the administration had appealed.
The new decision states that the ban must exclude “refugees who have a formal assurance from an agency within the United States that the agency will provide or ensure the provision of reception and placement services to that refugee. ”
It could pave the way for the entry of some 24 , 000 refugees whose asylum requests had already been approved.
