The U.S. Supreme Court cleared much of President Donald Trump’s travel ban to take effect this week and agreed to hear arguments in the fall, giving the president at least partial vindication for his claims of sweeping power over the nation’s borders.
Trump called the decision a "clear victory for our national security." The ban on people entering the U.S. from six mostly Muslim countries can be applied for now to everyone except people who have a "credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States," the justices said Monday in an unsigned opinion.
