		</div><p>Hawaii plans to challenge US President Donald Trump&#8217;s revised travel ban, Attorney General Doug Chin has said.</p>
<p>The state wants to amend its existing lawsuit challenging Mr Trump&#8217;s previous order to contest the revised one, according to a motion filed in federal court in Honolulu.</p>
<p>The new order bars new visas for people from six Muslim-majority countries and temporarily shuts down America&#8217;s refugee programme, affecting would-be visitors and immigrants from Iran, Syria, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen and Libya.</p>
<p>Hawaii&#8217;s lawsuit had been on hold while a nationwide injunction on the initial ban remained in place.</p>
<p>This is the second time Hawaii has asked a judge to lift the stay in order to file an amended lawsuit.</p>
<p>Last month, US District Court Judge Derrick Watson in Honolulu allowed the state to file an amended lawsuit adding the Muslim Association of Hawaii&#8217;s imam as a plaintiff.</p>
<p>The mother-in-law of Imam Ismail Elshikh is a Syrian national living in Syria, according to the lawsuit that details the effect the ban would have had on Mr Elshikh&#8217;s family and others in Hawaii.</p>
<p>According to the motion, attorneys for the government had no position on the request to file another amended lawsuit.</p>
<p>Hawaii plans to file its amended lawsuit and a motion for a temporary restraining order on Wednesday.</p>
<p>Tuesday&#8217;s motion proposes a hearing on March 15, a day before the revised ban goes into effect.</p>
<p>Hawaii has hired a Washington DC law firm to help. Josh Wisch, a spokesman for the attorney general&#8217;s office, said last month the firm is giving the state a 50% discount.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;This new executive order is nothing more than Muslim Ban 2.0,&#8221;</i> Mr Chin said on Monday.</p>
<p><i>&#8220;Under the pretence of national security, it still targets immigrants and refugees. It leaves the door open for even further restrictions.&#8221;</i></p>
