On December 4, the US Supreme Court fully restored the immigration decree of President Donald Trump to restrict citizens from six countries with a predominantly Muslim population to enter the US (Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen).

Seven of the nine judges of the instance voted for this decision, writes CNBC.

Thus, the Supreme Court lifted two bans imposed by lower authorities on a new immigration ban, signed by the head of state in September.

After taking office as president, Trump signed an executive order imposing a 90-day travel ban on citizens of seven Muslim-majority countries - Iran, Iraq, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Sudan. Iraq was subsequently removed from the list because the country complied with Washington's proposals to introduce additional security checks for travelers to the United States. Several federal courts blocked the order. In June, the US Supreme Court partially restored the document.

24 September Trump signed a new decree that expanded the list of countries subject to restrictions. Venezuela, North Korea and Chad were added to it, but Sudan was excluded. This particular document was blocked by a federal court in Honolulu, Hawaii a day before the entry into force. At the same time, the prohibition on entry of Venezuelans and DPRK citizens by the Hawaiian authorities was not disputed, they called the ban on citizens of other countries “violation of the Constitution” because of “discrimination on religious grounds.”

November 13 Court of Appeals for the Ninth District of the United States in San Francisco, California authorized the partial entry into force of this decree. The court ruled that the US authorities may prohibit entry to the territory of the country to citizens of six countries with a predominantly Muslim population (Iran, Yemen, Libya, Syria, Somalia and Chad) if they do not have family ties in the United States. Now, after the decision of the Supreme Court, the presence of these ties is also not a reason for allowing the citizens of these countries to enter the States.

In his ban, Trump also completely stopped accepting refugees in the US, but his term expired in October, so the court did not consider this part of Trump’s decision.
