US Judge blocks Trump new travel ban

Following his second executive reformed signed travel ban, a federal judge in Hawaii has again blocked president Trump newly signed travel ban aimed on core Muslim nation which also put on hold the U.S refugee program that has been up and running smoothly prior to this administration in recent past. The federal justice blocked the ban from going into effect Wednesday, hours before it was expected to be effected in and around the United States.

In a 43 page ruling, the U.S District court attorney stated in no uncertain words and terms that the newly signed travel ban failed to pass legal muster and the state had established a strong likelihood of success on their claims of religious discrimination.

The practicability of this order means that individuals from the previously ban six Muslim nation can now travel to the U.S irrespective of whether they are seeking a better life or they are refugees.

President Trump in reaction to this trapped court order expressed his disappointment whiling condemning the judgement that led to this new blocked order by a federal judge.  

"The order he blocked was a watered-down version of the first one," Trump said, as the crowd booed the news.

"This is, in the opinion of many, an unprecedented judicial overreach," he added, before pledging to take the issue to the Supreme Court if necessary.  

Unlike the previous executive order, the new one removed Iraq from the list of banned countries, exempted those with green cards and visas and removed a provision that arguably prioritizes certain religious minorities. The reformed version also took care of the issue that creates a preferential treatment for a particular religion in the United States. 

Be that as it may, according to the Hawaii District attorney, this policy whatsoever fits unevenly into the basic tenets of the constitution as it also contradicts the American love in the protection of refugees, vulnerable victims away from devastation. 

"The illogic of the Government's contentions is palpable. The notion that one can demonstrate animus toward any group of people only by targeting all of them at once is fundamentally flawed," Watson wrote.

Trump who have been vehement about Muslim hate during his campaign has always been edgy about their continuous stay in the U.S as he vowed to clamp down on their wings when he assumes office as the 45th president of the United States. 

"Equally flawed is the notion that the Executive Order cannot be found to have targeted Islam because it applies to all individuals in the six referenced countries," Watson added. "It is undisputed, using the primary source upon which the Government itself relies, that these six countries have overwhelmingly Muslim populations that range from 90.7% to 99.8%."

"It would therefore be no paradigmatic leap to conclude that targeting these countries likewise targets Islam," Watson added. "Certainly, it would be inappropriate to conclude, as the Government does, that it does not."

"When considered alongside the constitutional injuries and harms ... and the questionable evidence supporting the Government's national security motivations, the balance of equities and public interests justify granting the Plaintiffs' (request to block the new order)," Watson wrote. 

However, in a fast reaction to this latest court order, the justice department has indeed vowed to take up the case in seeing that this judgement is upturned for the executive order to strive. 

The Justice Department said it will defend the new travel ban.

"The Department of Justice strongly disagrees with the federal district court's ruling, which is flawed both in reasoning and in scope. The President's Executive Order falls squarely within his lawful authority in seeking to protect our Nation's security, and the Department will continue to defend this Executive Order in the courts," DOJ said in a statement Wednesday night.  

In a different opinion, Omar Jadwat has applauded the judgement, calling it victory over president Trump hate and bigotry rhetoric's.   

"The Constitution has once again put the brakes on President Trump's disgraceful and discriminatory ban. We are pleased but not surprised by this latest development and will continue working to ensure the Muslim ban never takes effect," said ACLU attorney Omar Jadwat, who argued for the case for the challengers in Maryland federal court earlier on Wednesday.

The new ban which was announced weeks after the 9th U.S circuit court of appeal revoked the first order in a unanimous 3-0 victory against president Trump.  and the department of justice. 

This is no doubt a doubt a rough time for an administration whose footing since inauguration has been nothing but scandal cum counter accusations.
