Attorneys general for 16 states and Washington, D.C., filed an amicus brief Friday with the Supreme Court in support of Hawaii's case against the Trump administration's latest ban prohibiting travel from several majority-Muslim nations. "Since Day One, our coalition of attorneys general has been on the front lines of the fight against this unconstitutional, unlawful, and un-American ban," Schneiderman said in a statement announcing the amicus brief. "President Trump's discriminatory ban both hurts the families caught up in the chaos of his draconian policies, and undermines our states' residents, institutions, businesses, and economies," he added. In the document, state officials argue that the travel ban will "significantly disrupt the ability of our public universities to recruit and retain students and faculty, impairing academic staffing and research, and causing the loss of tuition and tax revenues, among other costs." In February, the 4th Circuit Court of Appeals became the second court to rule against the legality of the Trump administration's latest ban, calling it "unconstitutionally tainted with animus toward Islam."The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on the Trump administration's travel ban at the end of April following an appeal over a similar decision from the 9th Circuit Court in San Francisco.
De Blasio joins major cities in backing Hawaii's Trump travel ban suit
"Trump's travel ban is a racist abdication of American values," de Blasio said in a statement. We are proud to link arms with cities and municipalities across the nation and stand firm against the travel ban." In late September, President Trump issued a proclamation which placed new travel restrictions on citizens from Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. The initial travel ban issued last January created chaos across major international airports around the country virtually overnight, and left many people stranded for hours in airport interrogation rooms. The Supreme Court is set to hear oral arguments on the president's travel ban on April 25.

as mentioned in Judge Stephen Reinhardt, a liberal federal appeals court judge who was part of a panel that rejected California's Proposition 8 same-sex marriage ban as unconstitutional, died Thursday, according to a court spokesperson. Reinhardt, who served on the U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, died of a heart attack during a visit to his dermatologist, according to spokesman David Madden. In 1979, former President Jimmy Carter appointed him to the appeals court, which is based in San Francisco. In March 2017, he had some pointed words for President Donald Trump in an opinion issued when the 9th Circuit refused to rehear the travel ban case. "Judge Reinhardt was one of a kinda liberal (don't dare say "progressive"!)Author
