LOS ANGELES， March 29 (Xinhua) -- A U.S. federal judge in Hawaii on Wednesday extended his previous nationwide order blocking the implementation of President Donald Trump's revised travel ban while the lawsuit continues.
U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson's original order halting the travel ban was issued on March 15， hours before the ban was set to go into effect， in the form of a nationwide temporary restraining order.
Court papers show that Watson granted a motion on Wednesday to turn his temporary restraining order into a preliminary injunction， extending his order against the ban while the case moves forward.
The move sets the stage for the Department of Justice to appeal to the 9th Circuit Court of Appeals， which is the same court that upheld a national halt to Trump's first travel ban last month after a Seattle federal judge ruled against it.
Hawaii has become the first state in the United States to file a lawsuit against Trump's revised travel ban. Judge Watson blocked provisions of the March 6 executive order of Trump that would have frozen the refugee program for 120 days and stopped citizens of six Muslim countries from entering the United States.
The revised travel ban will bar entry of citizens of Iran， Libya， Syria， Somalia， Sudan and Yemen for 90 days.
The new order lowered the named nations from seven to six， among other changes. Iraq， which was included in the first ban， has been taken off the list.
The state of Hawaii sued to stop the travel ban， arguing the president's policy violates the Constitution and the travel ban would harm its economy because of the loss of tourism and the ability to recruit international students.
Trump reacted to Watson's March 15 restraining order by calling the ruling ""an unprecedented judicial overreach""， pledging to take the legal fight all the way to the Supreme Court.

SYDNEY， June 8 (Xinhua) -- Papua New Guinea's embattled prime minister has survived another move to oust him from office as police and anti-government protesters clash， spilling over into widespread rioting and looting icpital.
Political unrest has been brewing in the pacific nation for more than a month， led by students at the nation's two major universities， over the prime minister's handling of corruption allegations and economic mismanagement.
The students on Wednesday attempted to deliver a petition to the country's parliament calling for a vote of no confidence to be allowed on the single-chamber's floor， only to be stopped by heavily armed riot police at the entrance to the University of PNG's Waigani campus in Port Moresby. The riot police are usually deployed to subdue tribal unrest.
It's believed the police then opened fire on the students when they attempted to continue on foot， refusing to hand over the protest's organisers.
Australia's national broadcaster reported four people had been killed， and 10 more were injured. Various media reports suggest up to 20 students have been hospitalized， though officials are yet to confirm the number of causalities.
""It is once again a sad day in the history of this young democratic country when you see fully armed police in our higher learning institutions simply to shoot at unarmed students who are simply exercising their rights guaranteed under our constitution，"" Opposition Leader Don Polye told Xinhua in a statement.
PROTEST SPILLS TO CIVIL UNREST
Video on social media shows students fleeing police at the amid clouds of tear gas and the sounds of gunfire， while several pictures appear to show multiple protesters injured. Xinhua could not independently verify the contents.
Local media reports alleged the protest spilled into civil unrest with widespread looting， rioting and a standoff between protesters inside the Port Moresby general hospital and the police outside.
PNG Prime Minister Peter O'Neill disputed the claim the police acted first， instead accusing the county's political opposition and ""agitators"" provoking the police response.
""This protest and the factors that led to the incident today have been driven by people who are not students，"" O'Neill said in a statement， adding a full inquiry will be launched to into the unrest， which will also encompass the external funding sources of the month-long student protest.
""The blood of the injured students is on the hands of those members and their supporters，"" O'Neill said.
""The criminal elements involved in this incident will feel the full force of the law for their involvement in what has transpired.""
