First, though, a major advancement 1 in the international fight against the ISIS terrorist group. ISIS stands for Islamic State in Iraq and Syria. That's what they wanted and that's where most of their territory was.


In 2014, ISIS declared Raqqa, a city in Northern Syria, to be its capital. And since June of this year, an international coalition 2 of fighters supported by the U.S. had been battling to kick ISIS out. And on Tuesday, they announced that ISIS had lost control of Raqqa.


The battle is not completely over. There are still some pockets of fighting in the city. Thousands of civilians 4 have been left homeless. And Save the Children, an international rights organization, says refugee camps in the area are stretched beyond their limits. But experts say the defeat of ISIS in Raqqa is another example of how the terrorists are losing their grip on this region, even if their survivors 5 regroup and reappear somewhere else.


NICK PATON WALSH, CNN SENIOR INTERNATIONAL CORRESPONDENT: They once dubbed 6 it "Execution Square". But this is now where ISIS met its end.


Once home to public beheadings now circled slowly by U.S. supplied Humvees, the Kurdish forces who made swift progress kicking ISIS out of Raqqa, their former self-declared capital.


The fight has been total, ghastly, destructive beyond imagination, as this exclusive drone pictures filmed Monday show. This is where ISIS used to plot attacks on the West, but now made their very final, last stand, some of its last foreign fighters likely dying and its bombed out skeleton.


ISIS late Monday lost this, the national hospital, where a few dozen surrendered. The civilian 3 human shields they held there also rescued. The U.S.-backed fighters declared major operations over here late Tuesday, the last time that ISIS's name was writ 7 large over a major city.

AZUZ: On our September 26th show, which you can find our archives at CNN10.com, we detailed 8 the Trump 9 administration's new rules that restrict people from eight countries from entering the U.S. Yesterday, a federal judge in Hawaii blocked the new travel ban a day before it was scheduled to take effect. The judge wrote that the executive order, quote, discriminates 10 based on nationality.


The White House said the ban was based on, quote, grave national security concerns. The Justice Department plans to appeal the ruling.


A CNN legal analyst 11 says it's almost certain that this case will be reviewed soon by the U.S. Supreme 12 Court.
