TLDR: The ban is set to take effect on January 19, 2025. It can be postponed once for a duration of 90 days by a presidential act. This appeals court upheld the law.
- cperciva 2y agoIs it a coincidence that the deadline expires the day before Trump takes office?
- grajaganDev 2y agoThe deadline was established long before the election.
- cperciva 2y agoSure, but we've known for decades when inauguration day was going to be.
- chvid 2y agoIt was very deliberate.
- next_xibalba 2y agoYes, I think it's a coincidence. The language of the law specifies the ban will go into effect 270 days after the law's passage. I don't think any one law maker can perfectly predict how long it will take for a law to make it through the House, Senate, and Presidential signature. This law was introduced on March 5, 2024 and signed by Biden on April 24, 2024.
- cperciva 2y agoThanks! That's the context I was looking for -- whether the date was written into the law or an accident of where N days after event X landed.
