US appeals court denies Hawaii bid to narrow Trump travel ban

In US, a appeals court rejected Hawaii's request to issue an emergency order blocking parts of President Donald Trump's temporary travel ban while the State sought clarification over what groups of people would be barred from travel. <br/><br/>The US Supreme Court last month let the ban on travel from six Muslim-majority countries go forward with a limited scope, saying it could not apply to anyone with a credible bona fide relationship with a US person or entity.<br/><br/>The Trump administration then decided that spouses, parents, children, fianc's and siblings would be exempt from the ban, while grandparents and other family members travelling from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen would be barred. The Justice Department declined to comment. Hawaii's Attorney General could not immediately be reached for comment.<br/><br/>
