HONOLULU (AP) — Hawaii is opposing a request for a judge to clarify his order blocking President Donald Trump’s revised travel ban, saying the federal government can’t try to change a ruling already issued by the court.
In court papers filed Saturday, the state asks for a longer-lasting preliminary injunction to cover the Wednesday order by U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson or expedited briefings on whether the injunction should be issued.
It comes after the Justice Department asked Watson to clarify that his temporary order only applies to the ban on travel from six mostly Muslim countries and not a global freeze on refugees entering the United States.
Watson concluded there was “significant and unrebutted evidence of religious animus” behind the travel ban.
Trump has indicated the ruling will be appealed.

What reason could there be for Trump to issue a global ban on refugees?
Most aren’t white and the white ones are Ukranian?
Because he can, and it’s easy red meat to throw out to his (dwindling) crowds at his rallies.
Playing with people in extremely precarious situations for political rally cries in order to receive strokes for his ego from the crowd. In short, it’s all about him - and if it’s cruel? So what- as long as it is useful for him.
Paid crowds. http://www.eclectablog.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/03/FordPACemail.png
Ironic.
