The US Supreme Court has partially lifted an injunction against President Donald Trump's travel ban.
The Supreme Court said in Monday's ruling: "In practical terms, this means that [the executive order] may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.
"All other foreign nationals are subject to the provisions of [the executive order]."
Mark this down as a win for Donald Trump. The path to entry into the US for immigrants and refugees from the affected nations, if they don't have existing ties to the US - either through family, schools or employment - just became considerably harder.
The decision marks a reaffirmation of the sweeping powers the president has traditionally been granted by the courts in areas of national security. There was fear in some quarters that the administration's ham-fisted implementation of its immigration policy could do lasting damage to the president's prerogatives. That appears not to be the case.

Thank you for convincing me that zero immigration at all is the correct choice. I want zero additional people living in my home!
Well, perhaps we should permit bikini supermodel immigration. Case by case basis of course.

That's what we need and that was my plan, an UGLY BAN. Not the watered down, politically correct version the Justice Dept. submitted to S.C. Going to seek much tougher version. And when the supermodels come in, I get first dibs!
