A day after new Trump order, U.S. high court cancels hearing on travel ban

Jesse Choper and Leti Volpp quoted by San Francisco Chronicle, Sept. 25, 2017

Jesse Choper … said the addition of North Korea, in particular, would counter opponents’ allegations that the order is a Muslim ban. He also noted that that courts traditionally give the president considerable authority over immigration and national security.

The new order “could be challenged on the same grounds” as the previous versions, Volpp said. She described the additions of three nations as “cosmetic,” saying U.S. immigration from North Korea and Chad is minuscule.
