Virginia's attorney general said on Monday that, the Trump’s administration revised the travel ban which is an "incredible concession" and it is a tacit admission that the original ban was constitutionally flawed.

President Donald Trump issued a new executive order on Monday restricting travel from the six majority-Muslim countries.

It significantly scales back an earlier order which prompted judicial intervention barring its implementation. In the new executive order, the list of the affected nations no longer includes Iraq, and it also no longer seeks to cancel tens of thousands of the existing visas.

The Virginia Attorney General Mark Herring, a Democrat, is one of the several attorneys general who sued to stop the ban. He said that his office is reviewing the legal response in its lawsuit against the Trump administration in U.S. District Court in the Alexandria.

He said that while the new executive order "appears to be significantly scaled back, it still sends a horrible message to the world."

In a court filing on Monday in Alexandria, the Justice Department lawyers argued that the new executive order is narrowly tailored and no longer requires a judge to issue any kind of emergency rulings. U.S. District Judge Leonie Brinkema in the last month issued a preliminary injunction against the travel ban, ruling that there was significant evidence to suggest the ban was rooted in the religious discrimination. Brinkema's ruling came after a federal appeals court blocked the implementation of travel ban on a national basis.

Hassan Ahmad, an immigration lawyer with the Dulles Justice Coalition, said that the new executive order is "a different shade of lipstick on the same pig."

After the first travel ban was issued, the coalition formed as a way to try to provide the legal support to travelers who might need it as they pass through the customs at Dulles International Airport.

Ahmad said that while the new ban applies to the fewer people, he noted that an accompanying memo from the White House to executive agencies calls for the Department of Homeland security and also other agencies "to rigorously enforce all existing grounds of inadmissibility." He also said that, travelers may still need the legal assistance, and also the volunteer efforts at the airport will continue.
