Supreme Court partially reinstates Muslim travel ban, allowing discrimination against those without U.S. ties

The Supreme Court partially reinstated Trump's travel ban targeting six Muslim-majority countries (Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria, Yemen), allowing it to go into effect for foreign nationals without 'bona fide relationships' to people or entities in the U.S. The decision was a split ruling - three conservative justices (Thomas, Gorsuch, Alito) would have allowed the full ban. Trump immediately declared it a 'clear victory for our national security' despite the limitations. The ruling scheduled full arguments for October 2017. The decision allowed religious discrimination to proceed while the case was pending, affecting refugees and immigrants who had no existing U.S. connections.
