WASHINGTON (AP) — The Trump administration is pushing back on claims that President Donald Trump’s travel ban is soon set to expire amid an ongoing court battle.
The White House released a memorandum Wednesday declaring that the effective date of the president’s executive order banning travelers from six Muslim-majority countries “is delayed or tolled” until all relevant court injunctions “are lifted or stayed.”
Some critics of the travel ban have said that the policy’s 90-day halt to visitors from Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Libya is due to expire in mid-June, even though the ban itself has never taken effect.
The administration has argued that the clock doesn’t start until the policy can take effect.
