Supreme Court allows parts of Trump travel ban to go into effect

According to the Supreme Court, it’s permitting parts of Trump's travel ban to take effect and that it’ll hear arguments within the case in the month of October.

This announcement comes on the final day of the Supreme court's term before summertime recess.

In permitting parts of President Trump's executive order to go into effect, the court narrowed the injunctions scope which lower courts place on the temporary travel ban.

The court is permitting implementation of a temporary ban on entry to the United States of citizens of 6 Muslim-majority nations; however, with the exception for those who have what the Supreme Court referred to as ‘any bona fide relationship with an entity or person in the U.S.’

This includes foreign nationals who have familial connections within the United States, students who’ve already been admitted to a university in America, and workers who have existing job offers within the United States.

For individuals from the 6 countries with "bona fide" connections, injunctions that were put in place by lower courts are upheld. Those individuals won’t be banned underneath the executive order from coming to the United States.

However, anyone else from the 6 listed countries -- Yemen, Syria, Sudan, Somalia, Libya, Iran -- who don’t have these types of connections to the United States are going to be subject to this temporary travel ban.

With today's Supreme Court order, this travel ban is predicted to take effect within 72 hours in accordance with a White House memo that stated that this type of delay would ‘ensure a proper and orderly implementation.’

Following 72 hours, the ninety-day ban for foreign nationals from those 6 countries who don’t have bona fide connections to America and 120-day ban for refugees who don’t have such ties will begin.
