A federal judge in Hawaii has further weakened Trump's travel ban by expanding the list of family relationships with US citizens that visa applicants can use to get into the country. On June 26th, the U.S. Supreme Court exempted visa applicants from the ban Judge Derrick Watson ordered the U.S. not to enforce the travel ban on grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins of people in the U.S.
Watson said in his ruling. "Indeed grandparents are the epitome of close family members."
The travel ban affects six muslim-majority countries: Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iran, and Yemen.
