It didn't survive the legal scrutiny. Cross posting from PoliGAF:

Trumps new Travel Ban EO has lost in the Hawaii District Court - at least, like last time, it is subject to a temporary restraining order.

This passage from the ruling tickled me:

ruling said:
The Government appropriately cautions that, in determining purpose, courts should not look into the “veiled psyche” and “secret motives” of government decisionmakers and may not undertake a “judicial psychoanalysis of a drafter’s heart of hearts.” The Government need not fear. The remarkable facts at issue here require no such impermissible inquiry. For instance, there is nothing “veiled” about this press release: “Donald J. Trump is calling for a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.[]”
