Speaker 1: Now it's time for our daily Bloomberg Law Brief, exploring
Speaker 1: legal issues in the news. And today Bloomberg LA host
Speaker 1: Jun Granso and Michael Best discussed another setback for President
Speaker 1: Trump's travel ban after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals
Speaker 1: forced the government to accept people with grandparents, cousins, and
Speaker 1: other relatives in the US. They speak with Peter Bloomberg,
Speaker 1: a legal editor for Bloomberg News. Peter, this has been
Speaker 1: going on for so long and in so many different courts,
Speaker 1: So just refresh our memories a little bit about where
Speaker 1: the travel ban is now, sure June. Well, recall that
Speaker 1: the President issued his initial executive order back in January,
Speaker 1: and it created chaos and airport in part because the
Speaker 1: specifics of the order weren't entirely clear. And then the
Speaker 1: order was clarified and revised in March. And that is
Speaker 1: the order that was then handled by the Supreme Court
Speaker 1: in June with a ruling that the Ministration could proceed
Speaker 1: with a limited ban, and the Supreme Court set some
Speaker 1: parameters on the scope of the restrictions. So what did
Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit rule? Exactly? Nice Circuit was really only
Speaker 1: clarifying the scope of the restrictions imposed by the President
Speaker 1: as they apply to the travelers from the Six nations
Speaker 1: and the refugees, And specifically, the issue with both sets
Speaker 1: of immigrants has to do with whether they have so
Speaker 1: called bona fide ties to people in the US, and
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court in June said that travelers with close
Speaker 1: relatives in the US should be allowed into the country,
Speaker 1: but it didn't specify other than giving a few examples.
Speaker 1: So the Trump administration then said that certain relatives would
Speaker 1: be allowed in. And with the refugees, there was an
Speaker 1: issue about whether they had ties to the resettlement agencies
Speaker 1: that helped place them in the US, and in both cases,
Speaker 1: the Ninth Circuit said that the Trump administration's interpretation of
Speaker 1: the Supreme Court order was too restrictive. And You can
