Trump's latest travel ban: what's new, who's covered, and why now? In Maryland, the American Civil Liberties Union and other groups are seeking to block the visa and entry restrictions in the president’s latest proclamation. In a 40-page ruling on Tuesday, Watson said Hawaii was likely to succeed in proving that Trump’s latest travel ban violates federal immigration law. The issue could head to the supreme court, where justices canceled a hearing previously scheduled for 10 October concerning an earlier version of the travel ban. Refugees and civil rights groups hailed the latest court ruling as a victory to people across the world fleeing persecution and violence in war-torn countries.
