Washington State Attorney General Bob Ferguson said his office was reviewing President Trump’s new and much-changed temporary travel ban on visitors to the United States, but stressed Monday that Trump’s executive order do-over was a significant surrender by the White House.

Ferguson challenged Trump’s original travel ban after the executive order was issued Jan. 27; the executive order was soon stopped by the courts.

The new travel ban now affects travelers from six mostly Muslim countries instead of seven: Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. Iraq was cut from the new ban, as well as references to Green Card holders and exceptions for certain religious minorities.

“By rescinding his earlier executive order, President Trump makes one thing perfectly clear: His original travel ban was indefensible — legally, constitutionally and morally,” Ferguson said Monday.

“The president has capitulated on numerous key provisions blocked by our lawsuit, including bans on Green Card holders, visa holders and dual citizens, an indefinite ban on Syrian refugees, and explicit preferences based on religion.

“We are carefully reviewing the new executive order to determine its impacts on Washington state and our next legal steps,” Ferguson added.
