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.

I have been attacked with a knife in my own neighborhood.
I have. At knife and gunpoint.
See above.
I know plenty.
Who isn't? Without progress, you have stagnation.
I don't do social media.
It's called "Don't bother me and I won't bother you."
First you come at me with this weak generic attack calling me generic while completely missing all of your marks (major fail). Now you're telling me you see patterns. Please.
