US asks Hawaii judge to clarify ruling on Trump travel ban
A Justice Department motion filed Friday asks U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson to clarify that the temporary restraining order only applies to the president's temporary ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries.
Watson issued a 43-page ruling on Wednesday after Hawaii requested he block enforcement of Trump's executive order, which the government calls a national security measure and critics call an unconstitutional and bigoted attempt to bar Muslims from entering the country.
The Justice Department also argued that the Hawaii ruling shouldn't block Trump's order that security officials review whether other countries are providing enough information to ensure would-be immigrants aren't a security threat.
