AceShowbiz - People can finally breathe a sigh of relief since Donald Trump's immigration ban has been denied by a federal appeals court. The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco declined the POTUS' action on Thursday, February 9 after the State of Washington argued the ban was unconstitutional and discriminatory toward Muslims.
Moments after the court agreed with the decision of lifting the ban, the president took Twitter to respond to the decision. He angrily wrote in all-caps, "SEE YOU IN COURT, THE SECURITY OF OUR NATION IS AT STAKE!" His post quickly sparked a trending topic "SEE YOU IN COURT" on the social media.

President Trump's urgent request to restore the controversial executive order restricting refugees and travel by immigrants from some Muslim-majority countries was declined by the federal appeals court on Thursday.
"To the contrary, while counseling deference to the national security determinations of the political branches, the Supreme Court has made clear that the Government's authority and expertise in [such] matters do not automatically trump the Court's own obligation to secure the protection that the Constitution grants to individuals, even in times of war," the court said.
The court cited an important Bush-era Supreme Court precedent on national security to take issue with the Trump administration's argument that it had no business or power to review the legality of the president's executive order. It would also violate the separation of powers for the court to do so.
"There is no precedent to support this claimed unreviewability, which runs contrary to the fundamental structure of our constitutional democracy," the court said in the ruling, adding that the Trump administration pointed to "no evidence" showing a need for the executive order.
