Supreme Court allows Trump’s travel ban to proceed

Trump’s controversial travel ban affecting residents of several Muslim-majority countries finally got the go ahead from the Supreme Court Monday, some 10 months after he first announced it.

The court will let the ban go into full affect while legal challenges continue. It will affect travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Two of the nine judges dissented on the vote.

Previous rulings had allowed people from those countries to enter if they could claim a “bona fide” relationship with someone, such as a grandparent or cousin, already in the U.S.
