Trump signs new travel ban order President Trump today signed Take Two of his travel ban — designed to satisfy the objections of federal courts to the first version. There were official pictures of the signing, but no reporters allowed. Three cabinet members made statements to reporters — the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security and Attorney General Jeff Sessions . Sessions and the other cabinet members offered no details of the new order, and took no questions. Julia Ainsley, who reports from Washington for Reuters , says the new order should help avoid chaos and confusion at airports -- and shake up the court cases against the original ban.

One immediate question: is “hate speech” protected by the First Amendment?
