A federal judge in Hawaii has blocked President Donald Trump's revised travel ban one day before it was set to take effect,Judge Derrick Watson said the travel ban -- Trump's third version of the policy -- "plainly discriminates based on nationality."
This is getting ridiculous. At this point it seems apparent federal judges will attempt to block any travel blank this administration tries to put into place.
White House press secretary Sarah Sanders called the ruling "dangerously flawed."
It looks as if the only chance this travel ban has in being implemented is through a Supreme Court ruling.
"The entry restrictions in the proclamation apply to countries based on their inability or unwillingness to share critical information necessary to safely vet applications, as well as a threat assessment related to terrorism, instability, and other grave national security concerns," Sanders said in a statement.
It is "almost certain," CNN's Senior Legal Analyst Jeffrey Toobin said, that "travel ban three will be on a rocket ride to the Supreme Court and we will get a resolution one way or another."
