Shot, Mr. Opioid

HONOLULU— A federal judge in Hawaii blocked most of President Trump’s latest travel ban Tuesday, just hours before it was set to take effect, saying the revised order “suffers from precisely the same maladies as its predecessor.”

It was the third set of travel restrictions issued by the President to be thwarted, in whole or in part, by the courts.

Federal Judge Derrick Watson issued the ruling after the ban on a set of mostly Muslim countries was challenged by the state of Hawaii, which warned that the restrictions would separate families and undermine the recruiting of diverse college students.

White House spokeswoman Sarah Huckabee Sanders called the ruling “dangerously flawed” and said it “undercuts the President’s efforts to keep the American people safe.” The Justice Department said it will quickly appeal.
