Trump's first travel ban in January caused chaos and protests at US airports before judges halted it. The state of Hawaii sued to block Trump's latest travel restrictions, arguing that federal immigration law did not give him the authority to impose them on six of those countries. US District Judge Derrick Watson in Honolulu said Hawaii was likely to succeed in proving that Trump's latest travel ban violates federal immigration law. Immigrant advocacy groups cheered the Hawaii ruling. Watson had blocked Trump's second travel ban in March.
