A federal judge in Hawaii had blocked the government from implementing the measure almost completely, though he said it could be enforced on people from North Korea and Venezuela. A federal judge in Maryland, meanwhile, issued a less complete halt, saying the government could similarly not enforce the measure on people from six of the eight countries – save North Korea and Venezuela – but only if the travelers the government sought to block had a "bona fide" relationship with a person or entity in the United States. That would include family members, as well as those with a job offer or other professional engagement.
