The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals has upheld an injunction blocking a key part of President Donald Trump's revised travel ban executive order.

In a 10-3 vote that fell essentially along party lines, the judges refused to disturb a lower court ruling that barred the administration from proceeding with a plan to deny visas to citizens of six majority-Muslim countries.

Trump issued his first executive order after it was largely halted in an earlier round of legal action. In March, he withdrew the previous foray and reissued narrowed version of the measure in March.
