Trumps-travel-ban-us-court-narrows-travel-exemption-refuses-expand

By intelligentbase


Weeks after an Hawaii court order stating that President Donald Trump’s blocked travel ban exempted grandparents and other relatives of US citizens from six Muslim-majority countries, the US Supreme Court has refused to expand the scope of the rule.

The country’s highest court said on Wednesday that Trump’s ban must allow exemptions for only grandparents.

The US Supreme Court also decided to put on hold part of the Hawaii judge’s ruling that would have allowed more people to enter the US under a separate ban on refugees

In its earlier ruling, the Hawaii court ordered exemptions from the controversial ban should include grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins.

Recall that days after the state of Hawaii filed an amended lawsuit to stop Trump’s revised travel ban at a federal court in Honolulu, several other states such as Washington, Massachusetts, Oregon and New York say they’ll follow suit.

Washington was the first US state to sue over Trump’s initial travel ban that created chaos worldwide and was eventually blocked, but the state in renewed suit argued that the revised order violates the constitution “by disfavouring Islam”.
