This is the second time Hawaii has asked a judge to lift the stay in order to file an amended lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Last month, U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson in Honolulu allowed the state to file an amended lawsuit adding the Muslim Association of Hawaii&#8217;s imam as a plaintiff. The mother-in-law of Imam Ismail Elshikh is a Syrian national living in Syria, according to the lawsuit that details the effect the ban would have had on Elshikh&#8217;s family and others in Hawaii.<\/p>\n<p>According to the motion, attorneys for the government had no position on the request to file another amended lawsuit.<\/p>\n<p>Hawaii plans to file its amended lawsuit and a motion for a temporary restraining order on Wednesday.<\/p>\n<p>Tuesday&#8217;s motion proposes a hearing on March 15, a day before the revised ban goes into effect.<\/p>\n<p>Attorneys representing Hawaii couldn&#8217;t immediately be reached for comment. Hawaii has hired a Washington, D.C., law firm to help. Josh Wisch, a spokesman for the attorney general&#8217;s office, said last month the firm is giving the state a 50 per cent discount.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis new executive order is nothing more than Muslim Ban 2.0,\u201d Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin said in a statement Monday. \u201cUnder the pretense of national security, it still targets immigrants and refugees. It leaves the door open for even further restrictions.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>HONOLULU\u2014A day after President Donald Trump signed a revised travel ban, attorneys for Hawaii said the state plans to challenge &hellip;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":33,"featured_media":92968,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[1482,16,17],"tags":[9869,13457],"class_list":["post-92967","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-breaking","category-news","category-news-w","tag-donald-trump","tag-travel-ban","mauthors-jennifer-sinco-kelleher","mauthors-the-associated-press"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92967","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/33"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=92967"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/92967\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/92968"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=92967"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=92967"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/canadianinquirer.net\/v1\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=92967"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
