A federal judge in Hawaii has ordered a halt to President Donald Trump’s latest set of travel restrictions a day before they were set to take effect.
Key points:
BAL Analysis: The ruling means that, for the time being, foreign nationals can travel to the United States as they could before the Sept. 24 travel restrictions were announced. While the Supreme Court limited scope of the court ruling on the earlier travel ban to persons with close ties to the United States, the new district court ruling applies to all applicants. An appellate court could reverse Judge Watson’s ruling or limit the scope to persons with close ties to the United States and the restrictions still may take effect in the coming days or weeks. The new restrictions would not dramatically expand the number of employees subject to travel restrictions for most companies. BAL prepared an FAQ on the restrictions when they were released in September. The full analysis is available here.
