Hawaii is the first state to file a lawsuit to stop President Trump's revised executive order limiting travel from six majority-Muslim countries. Attorneys for the state filed the lawsuit late Wednesday in federal court in Honolulu.

The suit alleges that a portion of Hawaii's population is now subject to: "discrimination and second-class treatment, in violation of both the Constitution and the Immigration and Nationality Act.

The revised executive order, which Trump signed on Monday, has been rewritten to make it more difficult to challenge in court.
The Justice Department declined comment on the lawsuit. The new order doesn't allow visas for people from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya. It also temporarily shuts down America's refugee program, and reduces the number of refugees it will admit this fiscal year to 50,000, instead of the 110,000 the Obama administration had planned.
"This new executive order is nothing more than Muslim Ban 2.0," said Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin in a statement. "Under the pretense of national security, it still targets immigrants and refugees. It leaves the door open for even further restrictions. Our office is reviewing the new order and will decide what next steps may be necessary."

Additionally, Trump was forced to reimburse his namesake foundation $11,525 for sports paraphernalia and champagne purchased at a charity gala, which was added to $1,797,598.30 already in the foundation’s bank account.
These so-called “refusal laws” mean communities that already face discrimination when accessing health care — like LGBTQ people, women, and people of color — could face even more barriers.
California Attorney General Xavier Becerra is leading the charge on a Supreme Court case that will determine whether fake women’s health clinics that work to deceive pregnant women must provide medically accurate and unbiased information on health services, including safe, legal abortion.
Amid rampant attacks on reproductive rights, 16 attorneys general recently filed an amicus brief — a common legal document offering expertise — to express their support of safe, legal abortion. The effort helps challenge a dangerous Texas abortion ban that would criminalize health care providers who perform abortions after the second trimester — despite the fact that these are safe and common. The amicus brief was supported by attorneys general of New Jersey, Oregon, and more.
The Trump-Pence administration recently announced that the United States Census will ask people about their citizenship status . The change will hurt immigrants and communities of color, likely resulting in an undercount of many immigrant communities.
