Supreme Court rules that Trump's travel ban is constitutional

Authored by cnbc.com

The Supreme Court ruled Tuesday in favor of President Donald Trump's September order to restrict travel from several majority Muslim countries to the United States.

In the 5-4 opinion written by Chief Justice John Roberts, the court found that Trump's travel restriction fell "squarely" within the president's authority.

The court rejected claims that the ban was motivated by religious hostility.

The case, Trump v. Hawaii, has been central to the administration's travel policy, presenting a key test of the president's campaign promise to restrict immigration and secure America's borders.

Trump, who issued the ban in September, hailed the ruling in the case.

The travel restriction, the administration's third, affects people from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen.

Previous versions of the ban were revised after facing challenges in court. »
