U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson in Hawaii said the state could revise its initial lawsuit, which had challenged Trump's original ban signed in January. The state is claiming the revised ban signed by the president on Monday violates the U.S. Constitution. The state of Hawaii wants the court to put an emergency halt to Trump's new order, according to a court schedule signed by the judge. The revised travel order changed and replaced an original, more sweeping ban issued on Jan. 27 that caused chaos and protests at airports and was challenged in more than two dozen lawsuits around the country. The court papers cite reports that travel to the United States "took a nosedive" after Trump's actions.
