Revised Travel Ban Blocked

A federal judge in Hawaii has blocked President Trump's revised travel ban.

President Trump’s latest travel ban has been halted by a federal judge in Hawaii. The new executive order was meant to resolve concerns over discrimination that stopped the first ban back in January. Some analysts on the far right says the court’s decision is an example of judicial over-reach, while others acknowledge the ban likely wouldn’t have any effect in stopping terrorism since immigrants have been able to come into the country for the last month. The new travel ban was expected to go into effect today but will now be halted until the White House is able to appeal.
