HONOLULU: A federal judge in Hawaii halted President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban Wednesday, hours before it was due to take effect, court documents showed.

US District Judge Derrick Watson ruled that the state of Hawaii had established a strong likelihood that “irreparable injury is likely if the requested relief is not issued, and that the balance of the equities and public interest counsel in favor of granting the requested relief.”
