Judges have rejected Donald Trump's appeal to have his travel ban immediately reinstated.
Federal Judge James Robart halted the ban on Friday after questioning the constitutionality of the President's controversial executive order, which blocks citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries from entering the US and all refugees.
The 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco on Sunday denied a formal request by the US Department of Justice to lift the ruling.
Instead, it gave the Trump administration until Monday afternoon to file more arguments for its emergency appeal.
Acting Solicitor General Noel Francisco had argued on Saturday night that the President's authority is "largely immune from judicial control" when it comes to deciding who can enter or stay in the US.
The federal government warned thwarting enforcement of the executive order is harming the public and that aliens have "no constitutional rights" to enter the United States.
President Trump has pledged to overturn the "ridiculous" ruling and even launched a personal attack on Mr Robart, describing him as a "so-called judge" in a series of ill-tempered tweets.
He has also accused Mr Robart of opening "up our country to potential terrorists and others that do not have our best interests at heart".
