He speaks 9 00:00:26,920 --> 00:00:30,680 Speaker 1: with Bloomberg Legal reporter Eric Larson. Eric, you know this 10 00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:33,199 Speaker 1: lawsuit many people thought might not have as good a 11 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:35,640 Speaker 1: chance of winning as the previous ones did because the 12 00:00:35,680 --> 00:00:38,479 Speaker 1: President might have done a better job in having this 13 00:00:38,520 --> 00:00:41,279 Speaker 1: one written. What is the basis for the challenge in 14 00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:45,080 Speaker 1: this new lawsuit? Well, thank you. It's very interesting in 15 00:00:45,159 --> 00:00:48,440 Speaker 1: that despite all of the work that has clearly gone 16 00:00:48,440 --> 00:00:52,400 Speaker 1: into crafting this this third version of the travel ban 17 00:00:52,600 --> 00:00:57,920 Speaker 1: and putting together very specific national security justifications tail essentially 18 00:00:57,920 --> 00:01:00,440 Speaker 1: for each of the countries that are on the list now, 19 00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:04,880 Speaker 1: the same flaws that are still there according to these 20 00:01:05,040 --> 00:01:08,040 Speaker 1: latest lawsuit, the one that was filed late Monday night, 21 00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:12,080 Speaker 1: by an Iranian diaspora group that says that once again, 22 00:01:12,120 --> 00:01:17,120 Speaker 1: like the other two orders before it, this proclamation discriminates 23 00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,319 Speaker 1: against people based on religion UH and is therefore violates 24 00:01:21,319 --> 00:01:26,200 Speaker 1: the Constitution so in the Immigration UH Nationality Act. So 25 00:01:26,720 --> 00:01:28,840 Speaker 1: it's once again I'm gonna be up to adjudge to 26 00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,160 Speaker 1: decide essentially whether Trump's own comments on the campaign trail 27 00:01:33,400 --> 00:01:39,000 Speaker 1: undermined this law. Eric these case, this case involves Iranians 28 00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:40,960 Speaker 1: in the United States or people of Iranian descent in 29 00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:43,720 Speaker 1: the United States who say that family members are potential 30 00:01:43,720 --> 00:01:45,920 Speaker 1: family members can't get what what are the facts? What 31 00:01:45,959 --> 00:01:49,600 Speaker 1: are the facts about the plaintiffs here? Well, the plaintiffs 32 00:01:49,800 --> 00:01:52,520 Speaker 1: they're actually they're they're not named in the law, dude, 33 00:01:52,520 --> 00:01:55,200 Speaker 1: they're listed at dough plaintiffs. There are six of them. 34 00:01:55,880 --> 00:01:59,560 Speaker 1: They're affiliated with an organization called the Iranian Alliance to 35 00:01:59,680 --> 00:02:04,320 Speaker 1: the Orders. And this lot doesn't have as it's got 36 00:02:04,440 --> 00:02:07,880 Speaker 1: more narrow categories. This order has more narrow categories than 37 00:02:08,200 --> 00:02:10,160 Speaker 1: the previous orders did in terms of who can come in. 38 00:02:10,240 --> 00:02:13,600 Speaker 1: Isn't that right? That's correct. You may recall from the 39 00:02:13,639 --> 00:02:17,160 Speaker 1: previous order that there were various UH family members that 40 00:02:17,360 --> 00:02:20,440 Speaker 1: are types of bona fide relationships as they called them, 41 00:02:20,480 --> 00:02:23,720 Speaker 1: that were exempted, and there were some court battles over 42 00:02:24,040 --> 00:02:26,480 Speaker 1: those definitions that went up to the Supreme Court and 43 00:02:26,520 --> 00:02:30,919 Speaker 1: we sent back down. But that travel van expired and 44 00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:34,639 Speaker 1: this new one doesn't include any of those exemptions, so uh, 45 00:02:34,680 --> 00:02:38,320 Speaker 1: and it also doesn't have an expiration date. That's Bloomberg 46 00:02:38,440 --> 00:02:42,000 Speaker 1: Legal reporter Eric Larson speaking with Bloomberg Law host Michael Best. 47 00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,359 Speaker 1: You can listen to Bloomberg Law weekdays at one pm 48 00:02:44,400 --> 00:02:47,320 Speaker 1: Wall Street Time here on Bloomberg Radio Now.
