Somali-Americans can now heave a sigh of relief, after U.S. President Donald Trump faced a legal setback over his travel ban on six mainly Muslim countries, including Somalia.
The revamped executive order had been due to take effect on Thursday, but a federal judge in Hawaii froze Trump’s efforts to close US borders to nationals of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for 90 days.
But White House said the Republican administration would “vigorously defend” its travel ban, and Trump also vowed to challenge the “terrible” decision before the Supreme Court if necessary.
It was a humiliating setback for Trump, who saw his first attempt at limiting travel from the Muslim world halted by the federal courts last month after it had caused chaos at airports both in the US and abroad.
