A federal judge in Hawaii has issued a nationwide restraining order against enforcement of key parts of President Donald Trump's revised travel ban executive order. 

U.S. District Court Judge Derrick Watson said the state of Hawaii and a local Muslim leader had "a strong likelihood of success on their claim" that Trump's order intentionally targets Muslims and therefore violates the Constitution's guarantee against establishment of religion. 

The ruling is another serious blow to Trump's attempt to limit immigration as part of what he claims is an effort to reduce the threat of terrorist attacks in the U.S. 

Trump effectively abandoned an earlier, broader version of his travel ban order after the bulk of it was blocked by another federal judge. Watson is an appointee of former President Barack Obama.
