Federal Judge Expands Exemptions to Partial Trump Travel Ban
------------------------------------------------------------

Back in the United States, a federal judge in Hawaii on Thursday greatly
expanded the number of people exempt from President Trump's ban on
refugees and travelers from six Muslim-majority nations. The ruling by
District Judge Derrick Watson will allow U.S. entry to aunts, uncles,
nieces, nephews, grandparents, grandchildren, cousins and sisters- and
brothers-in-law. Judge Watson's order will also allow entry to refugees
who have a formal assurance of placement from U.S. resettlement
agencies.
