Attorneys for the state of Hawaii filed a request late Tuesday asking that portions of President Trump's new executive action on immigration be invalidated.
Hawaii's action against the new immigration ban is the first such suit. The attorneys argued in the suit that Trump's new order "is damaging Hawaii's institutions, harming its economy and eroding Hawaii's sovereign interests in maintaining the separation between church and state as well as in welcoming persons from all nations around the world into the fabric of its society."
A separate case in the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals blocking the initial action on Trump's immigration ban changed after Trump issued another order on the immigration ban. Under a revised schedule by the federal appeals court, the Trump administration's brief in that case is due March 10.
