US Supreme Court gives its nod to Trump travel ban for now

The US Supreme Court announced on Monday that Prez Donald Trump’s government is permitted to bar specific groups of persons from the six Muslim nations from setting feet in the United States of America. The banned groups also include - relatives of US citizens and people with offer of employment from US-based businesses - before the Court hears the lawsuits filed against Trump travel ban.

Before announcing its ruling on Monday, the travel ban was applicable only on people coming from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, who had no “bona fide relationships” with people or businesses in the US. However, after Monday’s decision, even those persons with “bona fide relationships” are banned from getting visas and entering the US.
This is the third version of the Trump travel ban. The first version was issued in January 2017, the second in March, and the present version was made public at the end of September. In short, the Trump administration has been getting more and more success with each version of the ban.
The present version of the ban, however, has not been given an end date, and is expected to last until the federal government takes the final call to add or exclude countries from it.


The US Supreme Court did not overrule the ban’s critics on Monday. It is yet to comment on the merits of the lawsuit filed against the Trump travel ban. For now, it is only allowing the Trump administration to completely execute its policy until the court weights its advantages as far as the US constitution is concerned.
