A federal appeals court is peppering a lawyer for President Donald Trump about whether his travel ban discriminates against Muslims.
Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall says the executive order halting travel from six majority Muslim nations doesn't say anything about religion, and neither the state of Hawaii nor an imam from that state who wants his mother-in-law to visit has standing to sue.
Judge Richard Paez asked Wall how Trump's order can be squared with a federal law banning discrimination based on nationality in immigration.
Arguments are underway in Seattle over whether to reinstate the travel ban.
