look at this thing. that crater has more than doubled in size since it was first discovered tuesday. and this is why. chunks of concrete went flying yesterday when engineers tested it. those tests made the erosion damage even worse. but with the reservoir rising by six inches an hour, they have to keep dumping water into the feather river below it keep it from overflowing. >> they are

travel ban. kpix 5's melissa caen with more on what this ruling means for the administration's immigration policy. >> reporter: we're live here at the ninth circuit court of appeals in san francisco where earlier today, clerks handed out copies of a ruling that at least for now puts one of president donald trump's executive orders on hold. at around 3:00 today, three judges unanimously rejected mr. trump's attempt to restart his ban on refugees and immigrants from certain countries. the feds argued that this is an emergency because the other court the one that stopped the executive order had overstepped its bounds in even weighing in on a matter of national security. the ninth circuit today disagreed ruling, courts are not powerless to review the political branch's actions with respect to national security. the ruling also pointed out that despite being asked over and over again, the government has pointed to no evidence that any alien from any of the countries named in the order has perpetrated a terror attack in the united states. mr. trump's lawyers argued that the 7 nations that were singled out in the executive order were identified by congress and the obama administration. so they shouldn't need any more proof. the court disagreed and at least one activist at the court today is thrilled. >> i'm very pleased with this decision and i hope it sends a clear message to trump and steve bannon to respect the rule of law and to respect judges. >> reporter: he noted donald trump's sister marianne is a judge for the third circuit. that has not stopped mr. trump from speaking out about this case. he tweeted this afternoon, see you in court, the security of our nation is at stake. that seems to indicate that he would like to appeal this decision to the united states supreme court. which he can do. that would require five of the eight sitting justices to grow to hear the case. at least one expert we talked to today said that's unlikely. >> the u.s. could decide to go to justice kennedy in washington, dc the circuit justice right now and ask him for a stay but he is likely to refer anything like that to the entire court and then it would require five votes to overturn what the ninth circuit did this afternoon. that's not very likely. >> reporter: now, when the executive order was first released, there was some question about whether it applies to green cardholders. well, later the white house office of counsel issued a statement saying, it does not, that green cardholders are not banned. in today's ruling, the ninth circuit said not good enough. we are going to examine the executive order as it is written and if the president wants to change it with regard to green cardholders he will have to amend it himself. melissa caen, kpix 5. donna were sill the interim chair of the democratic national committee had this to say: let's be clear, this is a massive blow to the white house. the court upheld that we do not discriminate based on religion. we learned today that bart wants to protect undocumented immigrants by becoming what you might call a sanctuary transit system. current bart policy says that officers may notify federal authorities after they arrest an undocumented immigrant but at the bart board meeting today two members called for the policy to be change. they want to prohibit bart police from cooperating with federal immigration agents. president trump is getting tough on crime with a new attorney general by his side. senator jeff sessions was sworn in as attorney general this morning in the oval office. he got right to work

fired by his law firm and he is now facing contempt of court charges. the tech firm is under investigation in a whistle- blower lawsuit for allegedly bilking the government. in such cases, the justice department may investigate for months or years before the company ever knows. it's not clear how the wertkin got a copy of the lawsuit but it's valuable information obviously that he thought he could
