Number one fan. They finally meet. Im shaking. This is the cbs evening news with scott pelley. Rejecting the administrations arguments that it should reinstate that travel ban while the courts considered whether or not it was in fact constitutional. Now, the Trump Administration had urged the Appeals Court to reinstate that ban, saying that courts typically give broad deference to the president on matters of national security. Thats a pretty powerful argument. But the Appeals Court in this decision said, yes, while courts do give denchance to president s, their decision are not unreviewable, and then it proceeded to review all the arguments against the travel ban that were being made by two states, washington and minnesota. And it looked at those arguments and the arguments were many constitutional arguments, including due process and in fact the religious ban amounted to rdiscrimination, and it concluded that there was no evidence that the government a strong likelihood that it would prevail on the merits. This case now will go back to decide i i the government could try to take it to the supreme court, but at this point, scott, i think thats unlikely, while the lower courts consider its legality. Pelley jan crawford with the breaking news tonight. And so the president s travel ban will remain on hold. It is probably likely that the administration will appeal this to the speak, but we just received a statement fromlet jums, saying that, jups saying that it is reading the judges orders and weighing its options.

Press Secretary Sean Spicer kellyanne has been counseled and thats all were going to go with. Shes been counseled on on that subject, and that thats it. Reporter the controversy comes a day after President Trump himself blasted the retailer nordstrom for dropping ivankas brand. And a few days justified the immigration ban by repeatedly invoking a kentucky terrorist attack that never happened. I would like to know a little bit more about what the counseling was, and but that would have been a the bare minimum that would have happened in the Obama Administration. Reporter late today, the Top Republican and top democrat on the Government Oversight Committee sent a letter to ethics officials, calling on them to determine whether conway should be disciplined. Now, the president will have the final say, scott, but they noted here that he has a conflict of interest because conway was hawking his daughters products. Pelley nancy cordes on capitol hill.

I asked you what you thought. His comments were misrespected. Reporter but former senator kelly ayotte, who is guiding gorsuch around the capitol hhours earlier confirmed that gorsuch had, indeed, says sade he found any criticism of a judges integrity and independence disheartening and demoralizing. Republican senator ben sass, also said gorsuch was upset. He got a little bit emotional and he said that, any attack or any criticism of his brothers and sisters of the robe is an attack or a criticism on everybody wearing the robe. Courts seem to be so political. Reporter mr. Trump has lashed out at federal judges who have questioned his i order. White house Spokesman Sean Spicer in other words, the president will continue to speak like that. Of course, he will. The president s going to speak his mind. It goes back to Thomas Jefferson that president s have commented on judicial nominees. Reporter earlier today, the president hit back at republican senator john mccain for his criticism of a u. S. Raid against al qaeda in yemen, which killed Navy Seal Ryan owens and several civilians. Mccain said the operation was not a success. On twitter, trump wrote, mccain should not be talking about the success or failure of a mission. Hes been losing so long, he doesnt know how to win anymore. Now, those words could backfire on the president since the senator chairs the powerful Armed Services committee, charged with overseeing the pentagon. And, scott, on gorsuch, democrats say his comments may simply be a ploy to show his indianapolis. Pelley Margaret Brennan at the white house. And we now have more breaking news.

Reporter in 2008, rayos was arrested in a local water park where she worked and found guilty of using a fake Social Security number. She was allowed to stay in the u. S. Because she wasnt consider aid security threat, but under new rules, President Trump has made any criminal offense criteria enough for deportation. All she was doing was trying to work to support herself, support her children. Reporter the new rules could easily apply to many other immigrants. So youre saying this will push people into hiding. Undoubtedly it will push people into hiding. If they know theres a chance of them being deported, who is going to show up. Reporter 14yearold jacqueline just wants her mom to return home. Do you think shell be back here some day . I hope so. Reporter in a statement, immigration and Customs Enforcement says rayos had no legal basis to remain here in the u. S.
