Supreme Court partly reinstates travel ban
The United States Supreme Court on Monday handed the Trump administration a partial victory by allowing parts of its travel ban from several Muslim-majority countries to be enforced until it hears arguments in the fall on the appeal of a lower court's ruling that blocked the president's executive order. The court's 9-0 decision means the justices will wade into the biggest legal controversy of the Trump administration: President Donald Trump's order temporarily restricting travel from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen. The justices said that the government can temporarily bar entry to travelers that lack a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States" in the interested of national security.

Groups to protest Supreme Court ruling on travel ban
Five months ago, a coalition of immigrant and Muslim advocacy groups gathered to denounce the president's travel ban. Now that the Supreme Court has allowed parts of the order to take effect, that coalition is outraged all over again. Trump's original executive order limiting travel from six Muslim-majority countries and halting refugee entry for 120 days caused massive chaos at airports across the United States when he signed it earlier this year. The Supreme Court's ruling allows the ban to go into effect for people with no "bona fide" ties to the United States, such as family or business.
