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.

Everyone the SJWs complained about not being allowed to enter (family members, those with student places, those with jobs etc.) will now have to be allowed to enter, how exactly is this a defeat for them?
Also, the court in issuing this decision seems to be implicitly agreeing that plaintiffs living in the U.S. may have standing to raise claims of discrimination by relatives, students, or employees living abroad. That may be a big win, and it will last - the actual executive order and the ban runs out in 90 days anyway.
