In a 5-4 ruling, the Supreme Court of the United States has upheld President Trump’s September 2017 travel ban proclamation that placed entry restrictions on nationals of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Yemen, and Somalia. The Supreme Court held that the President has lawfully exercised the broad discretion granted to him to suspend the entry of aliens into the United States. Travel restrictions placed on nationals of Chad was subsequently removed in April 2018.
We will continue to monitor developments related to the travel ban and keep our readers informed.
