The article mainly discussed the debate that transpired between August Flentje, the lawyer representing the Justice department, and the Judges of the court appeal (Ninth Circuit), with regards to the executive order imposed by Trump which temporarily banned Muslims from entering the country. According to the article, the argument of the Justice department (Flentje) states that there is a “high-level of risks” of risk that comes from the  entry of individuals from the countries specified in the executive order. Flentje argued that the ban was necessary to protect national security, as these countries were identified as having significant terrorist activity, posing potential threats to the safety of the United States. The discussion centered around whether the executive order was justified and if it infringed upon constitutional rights, with the judges questioning the evidence and rationale behind the claimed security risks.
