Federal court allows partial implementation of Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’; Egypt is on the list: A federal appeals court yesterday allowed for a partial implementation of President Donald Trump’s travel ban, which places restrictions on the processing of refugee cases from 11 MEA countries, including Egypt, Sudan, Libya, Iraq, Iran, Syria, and Yemen. “Lawyers on both sides of the issue are preparing for yet another round of appeals court arguments next month,” according to the AP, which notes that Trump’s third so-called Muslim ban had been blocked by a federal judge last month before it was due to take effect.
