This story is about Trump's travel ban that prevents six countries from traveling to the US in an effort to block terrorist trying to enter. Trump's first version of this ban was highly disliked by several federal courts that blocked it. After Trump's original version was turned down it took about a month to write a new version that Trump said was a "watered down" version of the first one, and left Iraq out of the list of banned countries. The new travel ban which was to go into effect today (3/15) when a federal judge from Hawaii blocked it. The democratic judge named Doug Chin is trying to get an injunction against Trumps order.

The travel ban has to do with what we have talked about in class because of foreign policy and our political views of it, whether they be republican or democratic. This is Trump's view on foreign policy and it is a republican view on muslims and terrorist. The democratic judge that blocked the ban has a typical democratic view toward the travel ban.

I feel what Judge Chin did by blocking the ban only hours before it was supposed to go into effect was uncool. Chin was the only one to block the ban, so it obviously seemed more agreeable and he could have blocked it sooner, if he felt it was unjust. Personally I feel that the ban definitely needs to be implemented and Trump did a good job of not being too "extreme" on his revised version of the ban.
