The initial ban, imposed January 27, was likewise blocked by a federal judge, prompting the administration to craft a new executive order that included changes aimed at allowing the measure to pass muster in the courts.
The original measure suspended US entry for all refugees as well as travellers from a group of Muslim-majority countries: Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen.
Among the alterations made in the second order were the removal of Iraq from the list of targeted nations and an exemption for travellers who obtained US visas ahead of the Jan. 27 announcement.
