Ruling Sets: Visitors and Ban

ruling sets: Until then, the court said Monday, Trump's ban on visitors from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen can be enforced if those visitors lack a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States, according to Toronto Star. The ruling sets up a potential clash between the government and opponents of the ban over the strength of visitors' ties to the United States. The justices will hear full arguments in October in the case that has stirred heated emotions across the nation and pointed rebukes from lower courts saying the administration is targeting Muslims. A senior official said plans already had been written to enforce the ban aggressively. Those groups said they will be sending lawyers and monitors back to American airports, where the initial, immediate implementation of the ban in January caused chaos and confusion. But immigrant groups said relatively few people try to enter the United States without well-established ties. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
