Hawaii judge extends prohibition on Trump's travel ban

By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS HONOLULU — Oct 20, 2017, 5:34 PM ET

The federal judge in Hawaii who stopped President Donald Trump's travel ban from taking effect this week has extended the order.

U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson on Friday converted the temporary restraining order to a preliminary injunction.

The ban was was announced in September.

It applied to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen plus some Venezuelan government officials and their families.

Rulings against the ban in Hawaii and later in Maryland only apply only to the six Muslim-majority countries.
