Hawaii files court challenge on Trump travel ban criteria
By John Bowden - 06/29/17 08:36 PM EDT
The state of Hawaii on Thursday filed a court challenge to the Trump administration's limitations on travelers from six Muslim-majority nations, asking a federal judge to clarify that the administration cannot enforce a temporary ban against certain relatives.
Currently, administration guidelines say that travelers from the affected countries can only come into the U.S. to visit spouses, parents, children, siblings or sons- and daughters-in-law.
Hawaii's challenge seeks to expand the exemptions to include "fiancés, grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, and cousins of people currently living in the United States."
