Donald Trump's revised travel ban has received its first setback
A U.S. federal court has refused to block President Trump's revised travel ban
A judge in Wisconsin has ruled that a Syrian woman and her three year old daughter should be allowed into the US.
That's despite a 90-day freeze on immigration from Syria and five other Muslim-majority countries.
The woman's husband, who's already been granted asylum - was applying for his family to join him in the US.
Meanwhile, a group of US states has failed in a legal bid to have the entire ban suspended immediately.
In his ruling in Seattle, Judge James Robart - who suspended the first travel ban - has asked for more documentation before he makes a decision.
