In a unanimous 3 to 0 ruling, the 9th Circuit Appeals Court has denied the Justice Department's appeal of Judge Robart's ruling that put President Trump's immigration ban on hold. The next step is either: (1) the case goes back to Judge Robart's court for a hearing on the merits of the case; or (2) the Department of Justice could ask for an expedited ruling on the stay from the Supreme Court.
However, it would require at least a 5 to 3 decision in Trump's favor for that to work, because a 4 to 4 tie would leave the appeals court decision in place. So, it looks likely that the ban will probably not be reimposed any time soon.
