(AP photo)HONOLULU - The state of Hawaii has become the first state to sue to stop President Donald Trump's revised travel ban. The state had previously sued over Mr Trump's initial travel ban, but that lawsuit was put on hold while other cases played out across the country. Hawaii's lawsuit says the order will harm Hawaii's Muslim population, tourism and foreign students. "This new executive order is nothing more than Muslim ban 2.0,'' Hawaii attorney-general Douglas Chin said in a statement Monday.
