Federal appeals court schedules hearing for Tuesday on Trump's travel ban

The Chicago Tribune reports:
Federal appeals court will hear arguments Tuesday at 6 p.m. Eastern on whether to restore President Donald Trump's controversial immigration order, which a lower court judge has temporarily put on hold.

The scheduling of the hearing came as Justice Department lawyers on Monday made what is likely their final pitch to a federal appeals court to immediately restore President Trump's controversial immigration order, while tech companies, law professors and former high-ranking national security officials joined a mushrooming legal campaign to keep the measure suspended.
