Hawaii Sues Trump Over Travel Ban
Hawaii Sues Trump Over Travel Ban
Washington - Arab Today
Hawaii has become the first state to file a lawsuit against President Donald Trump's revised travel ban for citizens of 6 Muslim countries to US.
Attorneys for the state filed the lawsuit against the U.S. government Wednesday in federal court in Honolulu, according to ABC News.The state had previously sued over Trump's initial travel ban, but that lawsuit was put on hold while other cases played out across the country.
"Hawaii is special in that it has always been non-discriminatory in both its history and constitution," said Attorney General Douglas Chin, whose office has also asked for a temporary restraining order against the ban. "Twenty percent of the people are foreign-born, 100,000 are non-citizens and 20 percent of the labor force is foreign-born," he added.
US. District Judge Derrick Watson granted the state's request to continue with the case and set a hearing for March 15 the day before Trump's order is due to go into effect.

Paris - Emiratesvoice
Two months after legendary designer Azzedine Alaia's sudden death plunged the fashion world into mourning, an exhibition in homage to the "King of Cling" opens Monday in his studios in Paris. The Tunisian-born designer, renowned for the way his clothes hugged the body, died suddenly in November aged 82, reportedly of heart failure after falling down the stairs at his home. The diminutive maverick, who ignored fashion week convention by showing when and where he wanted, in July produced his first couture collection in six years to rapturous reviews.
