The Supreme Court partially upheld President Donald Trump’s travel ban on Monday, ahead of the court’s long summer break.
In rendering the decision, the court now will allow the government to enforce the ban, except on people who are plaintiffs in the case and those who have a good-faith relationship with the United States.
An example of people who have a good-faith relationship are relatives who want to join people who are legally living in the United States and students who want to travel to the country to study at American universities.
Refugees, meanwhile, would need a U.S. connection—such as being related to a citizen in order to be excluded from the ban.
