DHAKA:The US federal appeals court has rejected the Trump administration's request to immediately reinstate a travel ban blocked by a federal judge on Friday.
The ban targeted people from seven mainly Muslim countries.
State lawyers had argued it was unconstitutional and discriminatory.
The federal judge in Seattle had ruled against government lawyers' claims that states did not have the standing to challenge Mr Trump's executive order.
