A U.S. appeals court on Saturday night rejected an appeal filed by the U.S. Department of Justice seeking to reinstate an executive order by President Donald Trump that bars entry to the country for citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries and bans the entry of refugees.

The Justice Department filed the appeal a day after a federal judge in Seattle struck down Trump's executive order banning travel. The January 27 order prevents entry to citizens of seven countries for 90 days.
