United States

Judge further weakens travel ban

In another setback for US President Donald Trump, a federal judge in Hawaii has further weakened his already diluted travel ban by expanding the list of family relationships with US citizens that visa applicants can use to get into the country. The ruling is the latest piece of pushback in the fierce fight set off by the ban Trump first attempted in January. It will culminate with arguments in front of the US Supreme Court in October.
