Today, Bloomberg lawhosting Grasso 7 00:00:21,120 --> 00:00:24,360 Speaker 1: discusses the Trump administration asking the Supreme Court to dismiss 8 00:00:24,400 --> 00:00:28,120 Speaker 1: its pending case over President Trump's controversial travel ban. She 9 00:00:28,200 --> 00:00:32,000 Speaker 1: speaks with Leon Fresco, a partner at Holland and Night Leon. 10 00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:36,760 Speaker 1: The revised band was issued on September twenty four. What 11 00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:41,920 Speaker 1: is the Trump's administration's argument about having the Supreme Court 12 00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:45,680 Speaker 1: drop the travel band case. Well, their argument is that 13 00:00:45,840 --> 00:00:48,760 Speaker 1: the claims that were made by the State of Hawaii 14 00:00:48,760 --> 00:00:51,760 Speaker 1: and the State of Washington in the travel band case 15 00:00:51,840 --> 00:00:56,080 Speaker 1: are now gone. Those claims, those those problems don't exist 16 00:00:56,160 --> 00:00:59,840 Speaker 1: with the current bill because we're sorry with the current policy, 17 00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:04,400 Speaker 1: because the current policy isn't a categorical ban on anyone. 18 00:01:04,400 --> 00:01:07,600 Speaker 1: In particular, there are countries where you start with the 19 00:01:07,640 --> 00:01:10,640 Speaker 1: presumption that you can't get a visa, and there are waivers. 20 00:01:10,680 --> 00:01:14,600 Speaker 1: There's a waiver process available for individuals to get visas 21 00:01:14,640 --> 00:01:18,720 Speaker 1: even in those excluded country categories. And so they're saying 22 00:01:18,800 --> 00:01:23,080 Speaker 1: that there's now not a basis to make the same 23 00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:26,600 Speaker 1: the same claims that were made before. But even if 24 00:01:26,600 --> 00:01:30,319 Speaker 1: there was a basis, this is a wholly new, different policy. 25 00:01:30,360 --> 00:01:33,600 Speaker 1: What are the arguments that the American Civil Liberties Union 26 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:36,959 Speaker 1: in Hawaii you're making and asking the High Court to 27 00:01:37,160 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 1: decide the case. They're making two arguments. The first argument 28 00:01:41,160 --> 00:01:44,399 Speaker 1: is that even if there's a new policy, the President 29 00:01:44,480 --> 00:01:49,640 Speaker 1: has on multiple occasions signified from public statements, tweets, etcetera, 30 00:01:49,840 --> 00:01:52,400 Speaker 1: that he would like to revert mac to the original 31 00:01:52,440 --> 00:01:56,240 Speaker 1: travel ban that created all of the complexity and difficulties 32 00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:00,080 Speaker 1: at the airports and in our immigration system, and that 33 00:02:00,160 --> 00:02:02,320 Speaker 1: the only reason he doesn't do this is because of 34 00:02:02,320 --> 00:02:05,920 Speaker 1: politically political correctness. And so what they're saying is is 35 00:02:05,960 --> 00:02:09,000 Speaker 1: that if the injunction that's been issued by the district 36 00:02:09,080 --> 00:02:12,240 Speaker 1: court of the original travel ban and of the second 37 00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,359 Speaker 1: travel ban is actually dissolved by what's called mooting out 38 00:02:16,400 --> 00:02:20,560 Speaker 1: the Supreme Court case, then the Trump administration is free 39 00:02:20,600 --> 00:02:24,240 Speaker 1: to actually bring back the original travel ban. At any moment, 40 00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:27,240 Speaker 1: they'd have to start that litigation again. So they want 41 00:02:27,280 --> 00:02:30,600 Speaker 1: to conquordize for all of time that that kind of 42 00:02:30,600 --> 00:02:34,679 Speaker 1: travel ban can never be implemented. And then secondly, they 43 00:02:34,720 --> 00:02:37,760 Speaker 1: want to say that this third travel ban is no 44 00:02:37,919 --> 00:02:40,440 Speaker 1: different than the first and the second, and so there's 45 00:02:40,480 --> 00:02:43,720 Speaker 1: no reason it can't be scrutinized by the court. It's 46 00:02:43,800 --> 00:02:46,359 Speaker 1: Leon Fresco, a partner at Holland and Nights, speaking with 47 00:02:46,400 --> 00:02:48,519 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Law host during Grosso And you can listen to 48 00:02:48,520 --> 00:02:51,440 Speaker 1: Bloomberg Law weekdays at one pm Wall Street Time here 49 00:02:51,520 --> 00:02:54,360 Speaker 1: on Bloomberg Radio Now.
