🇺🇸US Supreme Court Approves Trump's Broad ☪Muslim Ban


The US Supreme Court allowed President Donald Trump to broadly implement a ban on refugees entering the country from around the world.

The Supreme Court justices granted on Tuesday a request from the Trump administration to block a lower court decision that would have eased the restrictive refugee policy and, according to the justice department, allowed up to 24,000 additional refugees to enter the US before October.

The Supreme Court ruling gives Trump a partial victory as the high court prepares for a key hearing on the constitutionality of Trump's controversial executive order in October.

Trump signed a revised executive order on March 6 that banned travellers from six Muslim-majority countries - Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen - for 90 days and locked out most refugees for 120 days in a move that the Republican president argued was needed to prevent "terrorist" attacks.

The administration has yet to say whether it will seek to renew the bans, make them permanent or expand the travel ban to other countries.
