The US Federal Appeals Court has rejected an application to immediately reinstate President Donald Trump's travel ban.
The US Justice Department lodged the appeal after a judge temporarily blocked the president's executive order.
The decree bans people from seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US.
Officials have a deadline of tomorrow to reply to this latest ruling, and submit more information.
The President has directly criticised the judge who made the original ruling in a court in Seattle.
The judge opens up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart. Bad people are very happy!
