Two judges have blocked President Donald J. Trump's new executive order that bans travel from several predominantly Muslim countries.
 
The order was slated to ban travel from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Unlike the prior travel ban, it wasn't going to affect those who previously had been issued visas.
 
But on Wednesday a federal judge in Hawaii issued a nationwide order that blocked the ban. According to the New York Times, the judge wrote that a “reasonable, objective observer” would see Trump's latest order as “issued with a purpose to disfavor a particular religion, in spite of its stated, religiously neutral purpose.”
 
On Thursday, according to CNN, a federal judge in Maryland issued a separate order blocking the 90-day ban on immigration for citizens of those six countries.
