President Donald Trump
A federal court in Hawaii on Wednesday halted Donald Trump’s
revised executive order temporarily closing US borders to refugees and
nationals from six Muslim-majority countries, dealing the president a
humiliating fresh defeat.
US District Judge Derrick Watson ruled that the state of Hawaii, in
its legal challenge to the order, had established a strong likelihood
that the ban would cause “irreparable injury” were it to go ahead.
The court in Honolulu was the first to rule in a trio of legal
challenges against the ban, which had been set to go into effect at
midnight.
Decisions were expected later Wednesday from federal courts in Washington state and Maryland.
The ruling means a nationwide freeze on enforcement of section two
of the order, banning entry by nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan,
Syria and Yemen for 90 days.
It also halts section six, which would have suspended the US
refugee admissions program for 120 days. There was no immediate comment
from the White House, which had argued that the travel ban is necessary
to keep extremists from entering the United States.
The Trump administration’s wide-ranging initial travel restrictions
imposed on January 27 were slapped down by the federal courts, after
sparking a legal, political and logistical furor.
Trump signed a revised ban behind closed doors on March 6 with a
reduced scope exempting Iraqis and permanent US residents but
maintaining the temporary ban on the other six countries and refugees.
The White House said those six countries were targeted because
their screening and information capabilities could not meet US security
requirements.
But Watson rejected the White House claim that the order wasn’t a Muslim ban, ruling that it would not be a leap “to conclude that targeting these countries likewise targets Islam,” because of their Muslim populations range from 90.7 percent to 99.8 percent.
The judge made reference to several examples of Trump explicitly
framing proposed action on immigration in religious language, including a
March 2016 interview during which the then president-elect said: “I
think Islam hates us.”
“Mr. Trump was asked, ‘Is there a war between the West and radical Islam, or between the West and Islam itself?’ He replied: ‘It’s very hard to separate. Because you don’t know who’s who,” the judge added.
– Chaos –
In Greenbelt, Maryland, Judge Theodore Chuang was expected to rule
on a separate complaint filed by a coalition of advocacy groups that the
amended order discriminates against Muslims.
“In his mind, the danger of Muslims and the danger of refugees is all combined danger,” Omar Jadwat, a lawyer for the American Civil Liberties Union, said of the president.
The first version of Trump’s order triggered protests at home and
abroad as well as chaos at US airports as people were detained upon
arrival and either held for hours or sent back to where they came from.
The Trump administration narrowed the restrictions in its revised
order to try to ensure it would be unassailable this time around.
“This order doesn’t draw any religious distinction at all,” said Jeffrey Wall, a government attorney.
Questioned about tweets that Trump sent and statements he made
during the presidential campaign in which he promised to enact a “Muslim
ban,” Wall said: “There is a difference between a president and a candidate.”
– Coast to coast –
But critics say the new order essentially remains a ban on Muslims
coming to the United States, and therefore unconstitutional because it
singles out people of a certain religion for discrimination.
Since September 11, 2001, the worst attacks in the United States
have been committed either by radicalized Americans or by people from
countries not on the Trump travel ban list.
Critics also argue that it will have a very negative effect on
schools, universities and the business world, mainly the high tech
sector, which employs many highly skilled immigrants.
The new battle against Trump’s order is being played out on several
geographical fronts, but mainly on the west coast, which tends to be
pro-Democrat.
The state of Washington, joined by five other states, filed a
complaint Monday with the same Seattle judge who stayed Trump’s original
travel ban in February.
Trump responded by insulting that federal magistrate, James Robart, calling him a “so-called judge.”
Robart will oversee the Washington state hearing on Wednesday and he could once again suspend all or part of the new order.
