President Trump on Friday said he may issue a new executive order as his travel ban remains blocked in the courts. Trump made the comment while traveling aboard Air Force One, according a White House pool report, saying “we will win that battle.”
“The unfortunate part is that it takes time statutorily, but we will win that battle,” Trump said. “We also have a lot of other options, including just filing a brand new order.”
Trump’s first order temporarily halted the refugee program and stopped immigration by people from seven Muslim-majority countries. However, on Feb. 3, a federal judge halted enforcement of the order.
On Thursday, a federal appeals court dealt another blow to the Trump administration when it refused to reinstate the order.
