After a federal judge in Hawaii temporarily halted President Donald Trump’s third travel ban Tuesday afternoon, a second judge in Maryland issued a similar ruling Wednesday morning, calling the latest iteration the “inextricable re-animation of the twice-enjoined Muslim ban.”

The latest ban, which was scheduled to take effect Wednesday, attempted to make permanent the restrictions targeting most of the Muslim-majority nations from the past two versions while also adding rules for travelers from Chad, North Korea, and Venezuela.

Judge Derrick K. Watson of Hawaii wrote (pdf) in his 40-page decision that Trump’s third executive order is “simultaneously overbroad and underinclusive,” “does not reveal why existing law is insufficient to address the president’s described concerns,” and “contains internal incoherencies that markedly undermine its stated ‘national security’ rationale.” Watson’s ruling impacted restrictions on travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, but not those imposed on travelers from North Korea and Venezuela.

In Maryland, Judge Theodore D. Chuang, as the Washington Post reports, “issued a somewhat less complete halt on the ban than his counterpart in Hawaii did a day earlier, blocking the administration from enforcing the directive only on those who lacked a ‘bona fide’ relationship with a person or entity in the United States, such as family members or some type of professional or other engagement in the United States.”
