Compared with the initial ban, "nothing of substance has changed: There is the same blanket ban on entry from Muslim-majority countries," Hawaii Attorney General Doug Chin said of the new order.
Chin's assertion was echoed by Ferguson and Noah Purcell, Washington state Solicitor General, at a press conference Thursday morning in Seattle about their approach to challenge the travel ban, arguing that it is not a new lawsuit, rather an effort to seek court confirmation that a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) against the ban is still effective.
"My message to President Trump is -- not so fast," Ferguson said in a statement. "After spending more than a month to fix a broken order that he rushed out the door, the president's new order reinstates several of the same provisions and has the same illegal motivations as the original. Consequently, we are asking Judge Robart to confirm that the injunction he issued remains in full force and effect as to the reinstated provisions."
The burden is on the Trump Administration to argue that the injunction the AG obtained no longer blocks the ban, argued the state attorney general.
As the lawsuit against the Trump administration is ongoing, the Washington state Attorney General's Office anticipates filing an amended complaint on the underlying merits of the case early next week. Oregon and New York are expected to join the case.
