The U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit today denied the federal government’s request to lift pending appeal a preliminary injunction blocking a presidential proclamation requiring most individuals seeking to enter the United States via an immigrant visa to have approved health insurance coverage within 30 days of entry.

A coalition last year filed a class-action lawsuit challenging the proclamation and an associated emergency information collection notice that provided less than 48 hours to comment. A federal judge in Oregon then granted a nationwide preliminary injunction blocking the proclamation until the litigation is resolved. The appeals court today said the government “has not established the requisite irreparable harm necessary to justify a stay pending appeal.”
