US federal Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii temporarily restrained the US President’s revised travel ban.

On September 24, 2017, Trump signed a proclamation which put restrictions on certain citizens from Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen. 

According to the judgment, the court made the decision based on four major reasons.

First, the restrictions on entire populations, including men, women, and children, based upon nationality, are a “poor fit for the issues” regarding the sharing of “public-safety and terrorism-related information” that the President identifies.

Second, revised travel restriction does not analyze clearly why existing law is insufficient to address the President’s described concerns.

Third, the judges argues that the revised order is not internally coherent to the so-called “national security” rationale. Numerous countries fail to meet one or more of the global baseline criteria are not included in the ban

Fourth, the new order does not explain why some types of visitors from a particular country are banned, while others are not.

The White House issued the first travel ban in January. But it was immediately blocked by several federal judges from different jurisdictions. The latest travel ban was issues in September and was expected to take effect on Wednesday.
