Ninth Circuit Rules Trump Can Ban Immigrants Without Health Insurance
December 31, 2020 JON PARTON
(CN) — The Ninth Circuit on Thursday lifted a ban on President Donald Trump’s proclamation that bars entry to immigrants without health insurance or the means to pay for hospital bills.
In a 2-1 decision penned by U.S. Circuit Judge Daniel Collins, a Trump appointee, the appellate court ruled that the proclamation was within the president’s authority and reversed a federal court decision to block implementation of the order.
Seven U.S. citizens sued the government after Trump issued the proclamation in October 2019, claiming that it unfairly prevented their family members from immigrating into the country.
