Still regrouping from a federal appeals court's refusal to reinstate
President Trump's controversial ban of nationals from seven
predominantly Muslim countries, White House lawyers are working on a

the White House's bid to lift a temporary restraining order on Trump's
plan to bar nationals from Iran, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Syria, Iraq and
Yemen from entering the country for 90 days, a senior administration
official told NBC.

the official said. And they are looking into several options, including
continuing the court battle as well as signing a new immigration EO
"very soon."
