After previously getting denied, parts of Trump's 90-day travel ban are set to take effect until the Supreme Court hears the case again. For those unaware, the 90-day travel ban was set for travelers coming from six Muslim countries (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, and Yemen). The Muslim ban was denied before but was partially enforced by the Supreme Court this time around. This decision by the Supreme Court overturned all of the lower court decisions that blocked the ban.
The court gave insight into the decision, saying, "An American individual or entity that has a bona fide relationship with a particular person seeking to enter the country as a refugee can legitimately claim concrete hardship if that person is excluded. As to these individuals and entities, we do not disturb the injunction. But when it comes to refugees who lack any such connection to the United States, for the reasons we have set out, the balance tips in favor of the Government's compelling need to provide for the Nation's security." Basically, if you are coming from one of those six countries mentioned, you are barred from coming into the United States for 90 days outside of a "bona fide" relationship exception.
Last week, Trump said that if the ban were cleared by courts, it would be put in place 72 hours later. He called the decision by the courts "a clear victory for our national security." The travel ban case is set to be heard by the Supreme Court in Fall 2017.
