Good morning. It's Thursday, March 16. A federal judge blocked President Trump's revised travel ban hours before it was to take effect, marking the second time courts have thwarted his efforts to freeze immigration by refugees and citizens of some predominantly Muslim nations.

A home-invasion suspect was injured when the resident confronted him and tried to pry his gun away Thursday afternoon, Orlando police said.
