Supreme Court Agrees to Hear Trump Travel Ban Case

Today, two years after the Supreme Court made history when it legalized the right to marry by same-sex couples, the nation's highest court announced that it will hear a case on President Trump's travel ban this fall. Lower courts had blocked the ban from taking effect, but today the Supreme Court gave the president a partial victory when it lifted most of the injunctions put in place by lower courts.

For now, the administration can prevent anyone from six Muslim-majority countries from entering the the United States, unless they "have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States."
