Judges in Hawaii and Maryland Hear Arguments over New Travel Ban
----------------------------------------------------------------

Legal challenges to President Trump's revised travel ban are mounting as
the order is set to take effect at midnight tonight. Federal judges in
both Hawaii and Maryland are slated to hear arguments today claiming the
ban targets Muslims and is a violation of the First Amendment. Trump's
executive order would bar refugees from entering the country for 120
days and would bar all people from Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, Sudan
and Yemen from entering the country for 90 days.
