Yesterday, U.S. District Court Judge Derrick K. Watson in Hawaii blocked the Trump administration from implementing the majority of the latest version of the president’s controversial Travel Ban 3.0, hours before it was due to take effect. Today, Politico reported that U.S. District Court Judge Theodore Chuang in Maryland granted a second nationwide preliminary injunction against the travel ban. As this updated AILA practice alert notes, in light of these rulings, nationals of Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, and Chad will not be restricted from traveling to the United States. Trump keeps trying to unconstitutionally ban people from other countries and keeps getting struck down by the Courts.

Word has been issued that the very first day that President-Elect Biden becomes President of the United States, that he will sign an executive order reversing Trump’s Muslim Ban. This means that the very anti-immigrant polices of Trump will be dismantled day by day by President-Elect Biden. It is a great time in American History at this point because democracy has prevailed and Trump’s insurrection and incitement of violence and attempt to get the election overturned has failed. People across the world can take relief that these bans will be struck down one by one.
