Supreme Court Reinstates Trump Travel Ban For Some, Will Hear Case in Fall
Tuesday, June 27, 2017
The Supreme Court of the United States announced Monday it will let President Donald Trump's immigration travel ban go into effect for some travelers - and that the Court will hear the case involving travelers from Muslim countries, and all refugees, this fall.
The move reverses the actions of lower federal courts that had put the controversial policy completely on hold. However, hearing the case opens the possibility that it could reverse Monday's verdict if challengers can prove the ban is illegal or unconstitutional.

The court, in an unsigned opinion, left the travel ban against citizens of six majority-Muslim on hold as applied to non-citizens with relationships with persons or entities in the United States, which includes most of the plaintiffs in both cases.
Examples of formal relationships include students accepted to U.S. universities and employees who have accepted a job with a company in the U.S, according to the court.
