Donald Trump’s ‘Muslim ban’ allowed by US Supreme Court
THE United States Supreme Court has allowed the Trump administration to enforce his controversial “Muslim ban”.
Supreme Court allows Trump to fully enforce travel ban
Legal challenges against the controversial measure are still making their way through the US courts, and have not yet reached the Supreme Court.
Challenges by the state of Hawaii and the American Civil Liberties Union said the latest ban, as in its earlier iterations, discriminates against Muslims in violation of the US Constitution and is not permissible under immigration laws.
However it will nonetheless go into full effect as the legal proceedings continue.

Breaking: Trump's travel ban will go into full effectIt applies to travellers entering the US from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen.
Lower courts allowed parts of the ban to go into effect in June.
People from the targeted nations with strong ties to the US - for example if they had relatives who lived in the country or were US citizens - could not be kept from entering the country.

The ban also covers people from North Korea and certain government officials from Venezuela, but lower courts had already allowed those provisions to go into effect.
The Supreme Court approved the motion with just two dissensions, by Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor.
The two dissenting justices would have left the lower court orders in place.

The San Francisco based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals and the 4th US Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, will hear arguments on the legality of the ban this week.
Both courts are dealing with the issue on an accelerated basis, and the Supreme Court has said it expects a quick decision.
A final Supreme Court decision on whether the ban is constitutional is likely by the end of June 2018.
