Washington state is asking a judge who blocked U.S. President Donald Trump's first travel ban to now block his new one, with New York state and Massachusetts vowing to join the litigation. The attorney general in Massachusetts said on Twitter that Trump's new travel ban remains "discriminatory, unconstitutional attempt" at a Muslim ban and that the state is "consolidating efforts and joining fellow states" in challenging Trump's executive order. On Thursday, Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin praised Ferguson's efforts to block Trump's travel bans. Chin acknowledged New York and Washington's lawsuit, and praised Ferguson's efforts to block Trump's travel bans. Trump's revised ban omits Iraq on the list of Muslim-majority countries.
