WASHINGTON (AP) - Vice President Mike Pence says the Trump administration is still determined to defend its original travel ban that was blocked by the federal courts.
In an interview with CBS "This Morning," Pence said Wednesday a variety of agencies are putting the "final touches" on a revised executive order that temporarily bans travelers from certain countries and restricts refugees from entering the U.S.
Trump's original order, signed in January, sparked immediate confusion, panic and outrage as some travelers were detained in U.S. airports and prompted federal courts to intervene.
Pence says that the administration will defend President Donald Trump's original ban which, he says, "we fully believe is in his presidential authority."
Pence would not address details of the revised ban, saying he doesn't want to get "ahead of the deliberation."
