Listen to this article

Revised executive order of the U.S President Donald Trump regarding the immigration ban for 6 Muslim-majority nations has been halted by a U.S federal judge. It was happened just before one day of its scheduled implementation. A number of companies from tech industry also showed opposition about the supposed travel ban and they have signed in the support of a lawsuit submitted in Hawaii. The executive order of Trump bars citizens from Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia, Iran and Yemen for traveling to the United States, but it doesn’t apply to those having green card or legal visas. The Trump administration has indicated that these specific countries are concern about the national security risks linked with their internal security issues and popularity of terrorist fighters in these countries.

Point to be noted that travel ban will suspend the U.S refugee program for 4 months (120 days), and decreases the number of refugees (110,000 to 50,000) permitted to enter in the U.S. The U.S President Trump signed the revised travel ban order on 6^th March 2017 and it was supposed to be implemented on 16^th March 2017. The Hawaii State claimed that this travel ban will destroy the tourism industry of the State, including damaging its capability to reinforce students, faculty members and employees from above mentioned countries. The Hawaii State also disputes the travel ban because it violates the establishment clause of First Amendment. It prohibits the federal government from promotion one or a specific religion. The State stressed the travel ban is specifically banning Muslims as Trump specified during his Presidential election campaign.
