美司法部提上訴要求恢復川普旅行限令
The U.S. Justice Department has filed its brief with the federal appeals court in San Francisco on behalf of reinstating President Donald Trump's travel ban from seven Muslim majority countries.
The 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals plans to start hearing oral arguments from both sides Tuesday.
The Justice Department's brief contends the ban is a "lawful exercise of the president's authority over the entry of aliens into the United States and the admission of refugees." It calls a federal judge's order suspending the ban an error and "vastly overbroad."
Along with U.S. attorneys, nearly 100 companies, two states and a group of Democrats that include former Secretaries of State John Kerry and Madeleine Albright have filed arguments against the ban.
The Democrats argue it was "ill-conceived, poorly implemented and ill-explained." "We view the order as one that ultimately undermines the national security of the United States rather than making us safer," they argued, in contrast to Trump's arguments that the ban would enhance national security.
In addition, 97 tech companies, including Silicon Valley giants Apple, Facebook, Google, Microsoft and Twitter, filed a legal brief late Sunday with the 9th Circuit, supporting the lawsuit against the travel ban.
The case is likely to end up before the U.S. Supreme Court.美國司法部已經向舊金山的聯邦上訴法院提交陳述書，要求恢復川普總統對七個以穆斯林爲主的國家的旅行限令。
美國聯邦第九巡迴上訴法院將從星期二開始聽取雙方的口頭申訴。
司法部指出，旅遊限令是“總統合法行使針對外國人進入美國和接納難民事務的權力”，並稱聯邦法官下令暫停執行這一禁令是一個錯誤，而且“極爲過分”。
美國有近100家公司、兩個州和一羣民主黨人，包括前國務卿克里和奧爾布賴特都提出了反對禁令的抗辯材料。
民主黨人說，這一禁令“考慮不周、執行不當、解釋不利。” 他們認爲，“這一行政命令將最終破壞美國國家安全秩序，而不是使我們更安全。”這與川普認爲旅遊限令將加強國家安全的論點相反。
此外，美國有97家科技公司，包括硅谷巨頭蘋果、臉書、谷歌、微軟和推特，都向聯邦第九巡迴上訴法院提交了陳述書，支持反對旅行限令的訴訟。
這一訴訟很可能會最終遞交到美國最高法院。
