Travel Ban Allowed

SCOTUS "Mostly" Reinstates Trump Travel Ban; Schedules October Hearing, by Tyler Durden, 6/26/17

Update: It appears that Trump has been handed a 'partial' victory on his travel ban by the Supreme Court.  While SCOTUS revived a "narrowed" ban, they found that it can not be applied to people with a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States."  
o   SUPREME COURT TEMPORARILY NARROWS TRAVEL BAN
o   SUPREME COURT LIFTS MOST OF INJUNCTION THAT BLOCKED TRUMP'S TRAVEL BAN ON SIX MUSLIM-MAJORITY NATIONS
o   COURT SAYS BAN CAN APPLY TO PEOPLE WITHOUT U.S. RELATIONSHIP
o   U.S. SUPREME COURT AGREES TO HEAR TRUMP APPEALS OF RULINGS BLOCKING TRAVEL BAN ON SIX MUSLIM-MAJORITY NATIONS

The ban will exclude people visiting a close family member, students who have been admitted to a university or workers who have accepted an employment offer, the court said. But the court said people can’t avoid the travel ban by entering into a relationship solely to enter the U.S.

The policy will suspend entry into the U.S. by people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen for a period of 90 days and it will take effect in 72 hours.
Justices Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch said they would have let the entire ban take effect immediately.
