Trump policy adviser Stephen Miller, in an interview on “Fox News Sunday,” said that the administration is “considering and pursuing all options” to impose an immigration ban.

“We are contemplating new and additional actions … to ensure our immigration system is not a vehicle for terrorists,” said Miller.

The U.S. 9th Circuit Court of Appeals, based in San Francisco, last week ruled to continue blocking the enforcement of Trump’s order.

“The three judges made a broad, over-reaching statement,” Miller added regarding the ruling. “The president’s powers here are beyond question. … Something good is going to come out of this. The powers of the president will be confirmed.”
