HAWAII JUDGE BLOCKED TRUMP’S NEW TRAVEL BAN BLOCKED
New York :President Donald Trump’s new travel ban was blocked by a federal judge in Hawali. It states that travelers from 6 major Muslim countries and refugees will be able to travel to the United States.
Derrick Watson, US District Court Judge settled that the new executive order still failed to pass legal muster.
It said that the illogic of the Government’s contentions is palpable. The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed.
Several states and immigration advocates say the new order still suffers from legal flaws and asked federal judges to weigh in by issuing temporary restraining orders blocking the ban before Thursday.
The new ban would ban people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen from entering the US for 90 days and all refugees for 120 days.
