HONOLULU (AP) — President Donald Trump's revised travel ban was to take effect today, but it was blocked yesterday by a federal judge. The judge in Hawaii rejected the government's claims that the travel ban is about national security, not discrimination. And Federal Judge Derrick Watson also said the ban would harm Hawaii's tourist industry. At a rally in Nashville, Trump said, "We're going to win. We're going to keep our citizens safe."

HONOLULU (AP) — The Army is training soldiers to fight and survive in the jungle using a new school in a Hawaii rainforest. The Army set up the course at a base some 30 miles west of Waikiki a few years ago. It's the Army's first such school since it gave up its jungle training center in Panama in 1999 when the U.S. returned land there to the Panamanian government. The 25th Infantry Division's deputy commander says the Army set up the school as its footprint was shrinking in Iraq and Afghanistan.
