In the United States, a lawsuit to stop President Donald Trump's revised travel ban has been filed by the State of Hawaii. Attorneys for the state filed the lawsuit yesterday in federal court in Honolulu. Hawaii's lawsuit says, the revised ban order will harm Hawaii's Muslim population, tourism and foreign students.<br/><br/>Attorney General Douglas Chin said, Hawaii is special in that it has always been non-discriminatory in both its history and constitution and Twenty percent of the people are foreign-born, 100,000 are non-citizens. U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson granted the state's request to continue with the case and set a hearing for March 15th, the day before Trump's order is due to go into effect. Hawaii is the first State to Sue Over New Travel Ban.<br/><br/>The revised executive order bars new visas for people from six predominantly Muslim countries and temporarily shuts down the U.S. refugee program. It does not apply to travelers who already have visas.
