A divided Supreme Court let President Donald Trump’s ban on travel to the U.S. from six mostly Muslim countries take full effect while legal challenges go forward, handing him a major victory and suggesting the court ultimately will uphold the restrictions.
Trump will now be able to bar or limit entry by people from the Mideast and North African nations even if they have a relationship with a U.S.-based person or institution. The order effectively supersedes a compromise the justices reached in June, when they allowed an earlier version of the ban to take partial effect but exempted people with a “bona fide” American connections.
