Supreme Court to rule on Trump travel ban

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court agreed Friday to decide the legality of the latest version of President Donald Trump's ban on travel to the United States by residents of six majority-Muslim countries. The issue pits an administration that considers the restrictions necessary for Americans' security against challengers who claim it is illegally aimed at Muslims and stems from Trump's campaign call for a "complete shutdown of Muslims" entering the U.S. The justices plan to hear argument in April and issue a final ruling by late June on a Trump policy that has been repeatedly blocked and struck down in the lower courts. The latest of those rulings came last month when the federal appeals court in San Francisco ruled that the travel ban Trump announced in September violates federal immigration law. The federal appeals court in Richmond, Virginia, also is considering a challenge to the ban. Last month, the high court said the ban could be fully enforced while appeals made their way through the courts. The policy applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.Read more on NewsOK.com
