WEBVTT - Bloomberg Law Brief: Another Travel Ban Setback (Audio)

0:00:00.080 --> 0:00:02.840
<v Speaker 1>Now it's time for our daily Bloomberg Law Brief, exploring

0:00:02.960 --> 0:00:05.600
<v Speaker 1>legal issues in the news. And today Bloomberg LA host

0:00:05.680 --> 0:00:09.080
<v Speaker 1>Jun Granso and Michael Best discussed another setback for President

0:00:09.080 --> 0:00:12.360
<v Speaker 1>Trump's travel ban after the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals

0:00:12.600 --> 0:00:15.840
<v Speaker 1>forced the government to accept people with grandparents, cousins, and

0:00:15.840 --> 0:00:18.759
<v Speaker 1>other relatives in the US. They speak with Peter Bloomberg,

0:00:18.800 --> 0:00:21.960
<v Speaker 1>a legal editor for Bloomberg News. Peter, this has been

0:00:21.960 --> 0:00:24.680
<v Speaker 1>going on for so long and in so many different courts,

0:00:24.720 --> 0:00:27.640
<v Speaker 1>So just refresh our memories a little bit about where

0:00:27.640 --> 0:00:32.239
<v Speaker 1>the travel ban is now, sure June. Well, recall that

0:00:32.520 --> 0:00:36.280
<v Speaker 1>the President issued his initial executive order back in January,

0:00:36.640 --> 0:00:42.000
<v Speaker 1>and it created chaos and airport in part because the

0:00:42.040 --> 0:00:46.360
<v Speaker 1>specifics of the order weren't entirely clear. And then the

0:00:46.520 --> 0:00:52.239
<v Speaker 1>order was clarified and revised in March. And that is

0:00:52.280 --> 0:00:55.760
<v Speaker 1>the order that was then handled by the Supreme Court

0:00:55.840 --> 0:01:01.920
<v Speaker 1>in June with a ruling that the Ministration could proceed

0:01:02.000 --> 0:01:06.040
<v Speaker 1>with a limited ban, and the Supreme Court set some

0:01:06.120 --> 0:01:10.160
<v Speaker 1>parameters on the scope of the restrictions. So what did

0:01:10.160 --> 0:01:14.479
<v Speaker 1>the Ninth Circuit rule? Exactly? Nice Circuit was really only

0:01:15.240 --> 0:01:22.240
<v Speaker 1>clarifying the scope of the restrictions imposed by the President

0:01:22.600 --> 0:01:28.040
<v Speaker 1>as they apply to the travelers from the Six nations

0:01:28.240 --> 0:01:34.200
<v Speaker 1>and the refugees, And specifically, the issue with both sets

0:01:34.240 --> 0:01:38.520
<v Speaker 1>of immigrants has to do with whether they have so

0:01:38.600 --> 0:01:43.920
<v Speaker 1>called bona fide ties to people in the US, and

0:01:44.240 --> 0:01:48.120
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court in June said that travelers with close

0:01:48.160 --> 0:01:53.160
<v Speaker 1>relatives in the US should be allowed into the country,

0:01:53.200 --> 0:01:56.920
<v Speaker 1>but it didn't specify other than giving a few examples.

0:01:57.160 --> 0:02:01.760
<v Speaker 1>So the Trump administration then said that certain relatives would

0:02:01.760 --> 0:02:05.080
<v Speaker 1>be allowed in. And with the refugees, there was an

0:02:05.120 --> 0:02:11.600
<v Speaker 1>issue about whether they had ties to the resettlement agencies

0:02:11.960 --> 0:02:15.440
<v Speaker 1>that helped place them in the US, and in both cases,

0:02:15.480 --> 0:02:21.240
<v Speaker 1>the Ninth Circuit said that the Trump administration's interpretation of

0:02:21.280 --> 0:02:24.960
<v Speaker 1>the Supreme Court order was too restrictive. And You can
