DAY 175: TRUMP LOSES: Judge strikes down Muslim ban's restriction on grandparents

A federal court in Hawaii ruled that the Trump administration's prohibition in the temporary Muslim ban on grandparents and extended family, such as cousins, is unconstitutional.

According to The New York Times:

A federal judge in Hawaii ruled late Thursday that the Trump administration’s temporary ban on travelers from six predominantly Muslim countries and on refugees should not prevent grandparents and other close relatives of residents from entering the United States.

The judge, Derrick K. Watson of Federal District Court in Honolulu, also declared that refugees with ties to a resettlement agency that was committed to receiving them had a relationship that made them eligible to enter the country.

Jeff Sessions insulted Hawaii calling it "an island in the Pacific" in a derogatory way

Donald Trump's Attorney General Jeff Sessions insulted Hawaii by calling it "an island in the Pacific" in a derogatory manner.

It all started when Sessions bitched and moaned about the fact that a Federal Judge in Hawaii blocked Donald Trump's second Muslim ban. He said according to CNN:

"We are confident that the President will prevail on appeal and particularly in the Supreme Court, if not the Ninth Circuit. So this is a huge matter. I really am amazed that a judge sitting on an island in the Pacific can issue an order that stops the President of the United States from what appears to be clearly his statutory and Constitutional power."
