The Supreme Court partially reinstated Trump's immigration ban

The US Supreme Court 26 June imposed a temporary ban on entry to the US by citizens of six countries with a predominantly Muslim population and all refugees who do not have strong ties with the United States.

The final decision on the legality of such a ban will be made in October 2017, reports Reuters.

The judges gave the Trump administration the right to immediately enforce the decree as long as its legality continues.

In October, the Supreme Court intends to hear the arguments in favor of such a decision, but for now the highest court in the United States lifted a complete ban on the operation of this decree, which was imposed by lower courts on the presidential decree of March 6 of 2017.

This decree provided for a 90-day ban on citizens of Libya, Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen to enter the United States and an 120-day ban on the admission of all refugees to the country. The document has been locked. by federal judges before its scheduled effective date of March 16.

Both bans will now partially come into force again based on a memorandum issued by the Trump administration on 14 June and will apply to those travelers who have no links with the United States.

Even before a decision was taken in the Supreme Court, this prohibition was applied only to new visa applicants, and not to persons who already had visas or green cards. The decree also did not apply to foreign nationals wishing to enter the United States to extend the process of working or studying, visiting a spouse, child, or parent who is a US citizen. Also, the border was not closed for previously approved refugees or those who arrived in the United States "in transit."

This decision in favor of Trump in the Supreme Court was made possible not least thanks to the April appointment of Neil Gorsuch to the bench, who restored the Republican majority in the department (5 Republican judges, 4 Democrats).

Three of the conservatives declared their readiness to fully restore the decree. Clarence Thomas demanded to exclude from the ban foreigners who have links with the United States.

Therefore, the court decided that the entry ban would enter into force “in relation to foreign nationals who have no relationship with a natural or legal person in the United States.”

This indicates that people from six ranked countries and refugees who have family, business or other connections in the United States will still be able to get into the country. But those wishing to enter the United States without such connections are likely to face denial of entry.
