Will the U.S. Supreme Court rule on the legality of Trump’s travel ban in June?

The U.S. Supreme Court stated on the 19th that it will rule on the legality of Trump’s previous travel ban.

Reuters reports that the U.S. Supreme Court, currently dominated by conservative judges, plans to hear statements from both sides in April and decide in late June whether the ban violates federal immigration laws and the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition on religious discrimination. issue a final ruling.

The Trump administration announced the original travel ban in 2017, but it was blocked by a federal court. In September 2017, the Trump administration announced the third version of the travel ban, banning citizens from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia, Venezuela, North Korea, and Chad from entering the United States. This ban took effect on October 18, 2017.

The U.S. Supreme Court decided in early December last year that the ban could be fully enforced during the hearings of the two appeals courts.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals in San Francisco, California, ruled at the end of December last year that the travel ban exceeded the authority of the president. However, the court ruled to put the ban on hold out of respect for the Supreme Court. The 4th Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, has yet to rule after hearing the case in early December.

The controversial point in this case is that the Trump administration stated that it wanted to ensure national security, so it issued a travel ban. Pro-immigration groups suing to stop enforcement of the order argue that the ban is discriminatory and tantamount to a ban on Muslims. Trump said the travel ban was necessary to protect against the threat of Islamic terrorism.

White House Deputy Press Secretary Raj Shah said, “We are very confident that the Supreme Court will uphold the lawful and necessary actions the President took to protect the safety of the American people and enforce them. Important security standards for entry into the United States.
