The U.S. Supreme Court is allowing the President’s latest travel ban to go into effect. The ban restricts travel to the U.S. from eight countries: Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen.
Handing the White House a huge judicial victory, the U.S. Supreme Court on Monday ruled in favor of President Trump’s travel ban affecting residents of six majority-Muslim countries.
The justices said the policy can take full effect despite multiple legal challenges against it that haven’t yet made their way through the legal system.
The ban applies to people from Syria, Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia and Yemen.
Lower courts had said people from those countries with a "bona fide" relationship with someone in the United States could not be prevented from entry.
