The States which have launched a challenge and why

Minnesota: questions the legality of the revised ban and suggests that the White House can’t override it previous one.
Oregon: It hurts citizens, employers and employees, education institutes, health care and the whole economy.
Washington: The revised ban contains “the same illegal motivations as the original”, hurts citizens although fewer than the former one.
New York: The attorney general says, “The Muslim ban by another name.”
Massachusetts: “remains a discriminatory and unconstitutional attempt to make good on his campaign promise to implement a Muslim ban”
Hawaii: maintained it is harmful to tourism, its Muslim population and foreign students.

The revised Executive Order bans issuance of new visas to people from, Iran, Syria, Sudan, Libya, Somalia and Yemen. The first executive order that was signed in January by Donald Trump sparked protests, confusion at air ports and a wave of strain in the country.

New York Attorney General Eric T Schneiderman after announcing his legal bid against the ban:

“President Trump’s latest executive order is a Muslim ban by another name, imposing policies and protocols that once again violate the Equal Protection Clause and Establishment Clause of the United State Constitution.”

Washington state Attorney General Bob Ferguson, the first who challenged the first ban states:

“We’re asserting that the president cannot unilaterally declare himself free of the court’s restraining order and injunction.”
