Hawaii judge enjoins Travel Ban 2.0

Hawaii judge enjoins Travel Ban 2.0 U.S. District Judge Derrick K. Watson extended a TRO national ban pertaining to the Trump administration’s latest immigration executive order, converting it to a preliminary injunction, which remains in effect until a complete trial on the merits. The Trump Administration is likely to appeal the preliminary injunction to the Ninth Circuit. “The Court recognizes that it is not the case that the Administration’s past conduct must forever taint any effort by it to address the security concerns of the nation,” Watson said. “Based upon the preliminary record available, however, one cannot conclude that the actions taken during the interval between revoked Executive Order No. 13,769 and the new Executive Order represent ‘genuine changes in constitutionally significant conditions.’” In his original ruling, Watson said he believed that extensive evidence showed the President and key aides intended the revised order, as well as the original version, to have been based on “animus” toward Muslims. He found that this interpretation outweighed government claims that the orders were intended to protect the nation from the threat of terrorism. The appeal under normal procedure will go first to the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit – the same tribunal that earlier<b> rejected </font></b>an administration objection to the Seattle judge’s order enjoining enforcement of the original Trump executive order on travel from seven majority Muslim countries. Trump getting tired of winning so much? Apparently not. |
