US: Federal judge blocks Trump's travel ban
Washington, Mar 16 (IBNS): A Hawaiian federal judge has blocked US President Donald Trump's new travel ban, hours before its implementation, reports said.
Judge Derrick Watson cited 'questionable evidence' in the government's argument about the ban being implemented for national security, while blocking it.
Put off by the judgement, US President Donald Trump was quoted in the media as saying that it is an act of 'unprecedented judicial overreach'.
