Hawaii has become the first state to file a lawsuit against President Donald Trump's revised travel ban, saying the order will harm its Muslim population, tourism and foreign students.
Attorneys for the state filed the lawsuit against the US government on Thursday in federal court in Honolulu. The state had previously sued over Trump's initial travel ban, but that lawsuit was put on hold while other cases played out across the country.
The revised executive order, which goes into effect on March 16, bars new visas for people from six predominantly Muslim countries and temporarily shuts down the US refugee programme, however, it does not apply to travellers who already have visas.
