President Trump’s new, revised travel ban retreats on nearly every issue that triggered chaos in airports and lawsuits in federal courts across the nation. Instead, they said they would go back to court and argue the order should still be struck down because it discriminates against Muslims. “This is nothing more than Muslim Ban 2.0,” said Marielena Hincapie, executive director of the National Immigration Law Center in Los Angeles. Second, they need to show an immediate and “irreparable harm” from allowing Trump’s order to take effect. Civil libertarians say that Trump’s order is based on religious bias, and they say it should be struck down for that reason.
