Judge issues stay on Hawaii Trump travel ban lawsuit
CINDY ELLEN RUSSELL / CRUSSELL@STARADVERTISER.COM
About 100 people at the Honolulu International Airport, on Jan. 29, held signs to greet travelers and protest President Donald Trump’s executive order to ban immigration from seven predominately Muslim nations. A federal judge in Honolulu is suspending Hawaii’s lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s travel ban on people from seven majority-Muslim countries.
A federal judge in Honolulu is suspending Hawaii’s lawsuit challenging President Donald Trump’s travel ban on people from seven majority-Muslim countries.
U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson today granted the government’s request for a stay. He’s halting the case while a nationwide injunction remains in place in a suit brought by Washington state and Minnesota.
Washington state and Minnesota sued Trump last week, saying the ban harms residents and effectively mandates discrimination. The case is before the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals.
Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin filed a lawsuit Friday, saying the ban keeps families apart and harms the state’s tourism industry.
Watson’s order cancels a hearing scheduled for Wednesday in the Hawaii lawsuit.

The Law is on TheDonald’s side! What a crook of bs from the Libertards and Democrats.
Very poor coverage by SA> What are the reasons given by the federal judge. I imagine it has to do with the fact that Trump’s executive actions are already being challenged by the court and other states so no other action is needed?
Maybe Hawaii’s Judge has some sanity to step away from politicking! Go listen to the Real News on FoxNews. The 9 Circuit is the Liberaliest of them all consisting of 2 democratic appointments and 1 republican from Hawaii who happened to be appointed by a Republican
lol, typed wrong as usual. Don’t know if the Hawaii Judge on the 9th is a Republican or not but it’s reported that judge was appointed by a Republican. Sorry bout that
The 9th is the most liberal, but they’re also the most overturned.
I’m a so called Libtard…so, take what I say with a grain of salt, but Judge Watson is not political in that manner. He is straight laced and would not issue the stay if it were not called for under the law.
^^^ I was led to believe and I would hope all Judges are held to standards but you know they all like us being only human.
Isn’t that what the story says?
Yes but you have to read to know that.
Denominator, to understand what you write, you should use the proper punctuation. For example, “Yes, but you have to read to know that”
Did you notice the “comma”?
@ Pocho
Correcto Mundo!
POTUS Trump is working on everything he promised in a TRANSPARENT way…unlike the “previous administration”!
Yes but Allie is a UH Grad and can’t read or think for herself. Scary.
You mean crock, not crook. The latter refers to Trump. But it figures. You spell and think as well as he does.
to those waving signs and marching in protests against securing u.s. borders and vetting refugees before allowing them entry into the u.s.:
prove your commitment to open borders and illegal immigration by placing an “open door policy” sign on your home’s doors and leave your doors open or unlocked so that anyone who wishes may enter your home and share its comfort and benefits. anything less is hypocritical.
Why don’t you start by proving to us you’re not Muslim and won’t commit an act of terror? Or if you’re white and Christian, that you’re not mentally deficient.
Why? st1d is not an immigrant and is not protesting any executive order.
Very good comparison! I like the thought process or what it makes you think of.
We need open borders to allow the flooding of our country with a human avalanche, because we are not miserable enough to satisfy all maso chists.
Judge Watson looks like he’s currying favor with President Trump in an effort to garner job security !! Nothing like ignoring the Constitution to suck up to your boss !!! Shame on you, Judge Watson, Hawaii deserves better than YOU !!
Why is it people do not understand that Trump is “Following” the constitution by securing our boarders and making it safe for the people within our country that actually have Constitutional rights unlike those from foreign countries.
I’m sorry, but I have yet to see where people from the middle east have the United States of America’s constitutional rights. Please advise.
Yes, Judge Watson also ruled on common sense . There are enough case’s questioning the EO.
@Waokanaka — Last time I checked, federal judges have a lifetime appointment. Maybe you should read the Constitution yourself before accusing others of ignoring it! Shame on you, Waokanaka!
All the crying liberals are cheering, until we get victimized by a terrorist act perpetrated by a middle easterner. Then what?
99% of the articles about our president is negative. No information on any positive things he has started to put in place. Or should we say a positive spin instead of a negative spin.
Tired hearing the negative spin on him. Half the country voted for him but no the mainstream media spins that two that he lost the popular vote by 2-3 million. What about covering and investigating those illegal voters who is supposedly dead or not citizens of the U.S., and those that voted twice under the same name that was orchestrated by the democrats.
American citizens wake up they are covering things to create anger, hatred, racism, etc. Can you not see what the globalist and their puppets are doing. Are they trying to create civil unjust and divide this country.
Libs believe FAKEnews to be true….SAD.
The only fake news is coming from you and your fake president. Excuse me our fake president.
^^^ LIke they say you can lead a horse to water but you can’t make them drink. lol
^^^ha! ^5
Kellyanne Conway to Jake Tapper: “I don’t think CNN is fake news.” OUCH! Wait till our “so-called president” hears this one.
If someone truly believes “99 percent” of the stories on Trump are negative. Well, there’s no one to blame but the “so-called president.” He makes such outlandish (and false or misinformed) statements and tweets every day. They’re hard to ignore.
@ roughrider
here’s good advice…
Dinesh D’Souza
“My definition of #fakenews –news that tells you less about what’s actually going on & more about the ideological source generating it”
@Keonigohan. Thanks. I can actually see his point, but is this the same Dinesh D’Souza we’re speaking about?
Dinesh D’Souza isn’t just a convicted felon and adulterer. The filmmaker, right-wing pundit, defender of Donald Trump’s right to access beauty pageant contestants’ dressing rooms, and world’s most racist amateur comedian …
@ roughrider
Yes that’s him..who is more honorable than BO.
Trump said he was going to investigate the illegal voters who were suppose to be dead or not citizens of the US. What’s he waiting for? Tell him to prove there were illegal voters. The accusers should prove their claim.
Trump has put Pence in charge to look into his claims. Honestly it’s already been written some dead still been voting, don’t ask me how though. lol. I believe the dead and illegal aliens have also voted, but let me say this I don’t believe it’s in the millions and being that said it’s only “my belief” till it’s been proven how many did vote.
I’ll go on further to say even if you don’t think it doesn’t matter in that one illegal vote(of the dead or illegal alien) is ONE to many! The Democrats/Libertards been whining that the Russians has or at least tried to sway our US elections but Looky here who’s illegally voting in our elections! Like people say to go out and make your vote count, they urge you to vote as every vote count! but don’t really care of the illegal votes in our Election. That’s Double Talk, right there, Politicking! Well, you want everyone to believe every vote counts but they all not wanting to tell you a illegal vote does matter! CRAZY! double talkin Fools!
Did Pence tell the POTUS that ABC Nightly News reported that Trump’s daughter, Tiffany Trump registered to vote in New York and Pennsylvania; son-in-law Jared Kushner in New York and New Jersey; WH Strategist Steve Bannon in New York and Florida; and Press Secretary Sean Spicer in Rhode Island and Virginia? And Trump talks about voter fraud and rigged election. Oh yeah, must be “alternative facts.”
Paniolo, It is not illegal to be registered in multiple states> It IS illegal to VOTE in multiple states.
Amazing!
Guess it’s happening! You see TheDonald or daughter denying what happened? It’s problem a case where Donald’s daughter proved to him and his Crew that illegal voting happens and needs to be addressed in the 21st Century and all of it’s electronics.
@ GONEGOLFIN
Yes it is amazing! (In ref to paniolo)
KaBoom!
@ koae
start here:
Hillary Clinton received 800,000 votes from noncitizens, bolsters Trump argument, study finds – Washington Times:
http://www.washingtontimes.com/news/2017/jan/26/hillary-clinton-received-800000-votes-from-nonciti/
Hillary Campaign Enlists Illegals to Garner Votes http://www.newsmax.com/Politics/hillary-clinton-illegal-aliens-enlist/2016/08/15/id/743707/
Now we might get more rail $$$$ from the feds.
How these Government people waste time , nothing better to do ? Chin ? What exactly did you accomplish that wasn’t already done ? And how much did it cost the taxpayers in your time and the courts ?
A flaming example of how the Prog Frogs will get nothing done this next 8 years…………just so busy trying to disrupt what the American Public voted for. Sick. Perhaps they should all just take a vacation .
Amounts to grandstanding. Maybe he is looking to make a run as a politician. They want to make every move the POTUS initiates as a wrong turn and put themselves in the politically correct spotlight.
Yes and will make Hawaii look stupid If 9th rules in favor of the president or if the Supreme Court rules in favor of POTUS.
Sounds like a sensible ruling to me. How is Hawaii truly affected by a TEMPORARY ban from the most militant middle east countries? Seems like our AG is wasting time and tax payer resources…what has his office done to help correct the great problems of our State? Oh thats right he defended our inefficient and ineffective DOE when the Ewa State Representative was trying to get the very basics done for Campbell High School.
Yes, this guy does not know how to choose his legal battles. I don’t see any Muslim Filipinos or other South East Asian Muslims being stopped at HNL. I work at the airport right next door to CPB deportation unit. Only time I see them at departure gates, deporting criminals, real criminals
Organized crime figures, child molesters, human trafficking, idiots that cause problems on international flights….. not muslims. They don’t even bother to check the fishermen, the one’s that are Pakistanis or Malaysian traveling with Fijian Passports. Same guys confined to boats at Honolulu Harbour.
….or a loss on tourism. Doesn’t he know that last year we had a record number of visitors?
Finally a sane decision. Hawaii got the wackiest people on earth. Pound sand libtards!!
What a show! I love this entertainment. Political correctness is no longer a guarantee to win votes. The look on the faces of the establishment is priceless.
Could you imagine them signs being held up high at Hawaii’s State Capitol on 9-11? Yikes!
What President Trump did is legal and has been done in
the past by Presidents; Carter did it with Iranians students,
kicked them out. Again in 1952 by democrats again; then in 1928.
NO! the Libertards and Democrats don’t believe in their own medicine.
bum bai dey learn—so all the bleeding hearts want to open up the inflow gates — just wait till the 1st incident–DT is so smart–tried his plan>>>got the liberals nutz>>>got his plan halted for now>>>just wait till something happens—who is to blame then??? all those–and the news and internet has the individuals and persons specifically that were/ are the loudest voices. They think they are helping preserve the Am Way???? they just made US more vulnerable…bum bai dey learn
I will say when we have another Migrant from the Mideast do harm in the US the Libertards/Democrats will beat their chests chanting TheDonald migrant policies made them do it! Garrans, you can take that to the bank. “smh”
I agree with Trump. Look what happened here in the island after the 9/11. He is doing what he said he was going to do. The people that are protesting should get a grip on life. Don’t they realize that is why you can not park at the airport and when going to another island the check points are so long. Get with the program all of you uneducationed people. Listen to Trump, I’m sure he will do a good job. Maybe not for everyone but for some of us.
wait till the 1st incident folks–may not be tomorrow or a week from now–but when it happens–because those people want to do us in–what do think is going to happen? my concern is not to me or my family being affected– anywhere but HI. what do you think will be said then? what are all the celebrities + sports radicals + SNL comedians + politicians say???? i think DT will say “told you so, tried to do something about it–the blxxd is on your hands and heads” of course DT will respond but only after…
Finally, a Judge with some common sense.
Judge works with refugees and declared Black Lives Matter in open court…. Dont care if he was appointed by a Republican or not he was hand picked to hear this case…
The Judge’s order will be overturned. It’s not for a federal judge to decide who can or cannot immigrate to the US. That power resides with the President and congress.
Where is the great Legal Mind Klastri, probably climbed back into his/her safe zone.
The Trump Train can not be de-railed so either get on board or get your useless Democratic Left Wing Radical A@#$S out of the way.
Doug Chin should do something that would make more of a difference and look into the corruption of the Hawaii Government.
Gee Hawaii asks President Trump for a waiver of his federal hiring freeze and the same day the States Attorney files a lawsuit against him… Can you say STUPID
The ban may harm families and tourism, but that’s not the point. The point is: Is it constitutional? Is it a ban of a particular religion?
