New Delhi: The US Department of Justice said it would voluntarily dismiss its own appeal of a Seattle federal court ruling that had suspended President Donald Trump's first executive order concerning travel from seven Muslim-majority countries.
The Trump administration this week issued a new executive order that supplanted the one which had been challenged in court by the state of Washington. In a court filing yesterday, the Justice Department told the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals that Washington state did not oppose the administration's request to end its appeal. (UNI)
