A federal judge in Honolulu is asked to block the new version of the administration’s attempt to halt entry to the U.S. from eight countries.

As the administration asks for dismissal of lawsuits against earlier travel bans, the Aloha State announces a new challenge.

The new restrictions impact citizens of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.

In upholding a ruling by a federal judge in Hawaii, a 9th Circuit panel also said that refugees accepted by a resettlement agency shouldn’t be banned.

The suit says ending protections for young immigrants would “punish and disparage people with Mexican roots.”

President Trump’s decision to end protection for young immigrants prompts rallies across the country, including Honolulu.

President Trump is considering ending a program that granted temporary legal status to young undocumented immigrants, including more than 500 in Hawaii.

While Hawaii has led the legal charge against the administration’s travel ban, Gov. David Ige is not supporting the sanctuary movement.

The Trump administration’s intent to exclude grandparents and others from the relationships that allow entry to the U.S. is called “nonsense.”

UPDATED: The Trump administration will appeal the ruling, which found that grandparents, grandchildren, uncles, aunts and other relatives should be exempted.
