Demonstrators protest against President Donald Trump and his administration’s ban of travelers from 7 countries by Executive Order, during a rally outside the US Supreme Court in Washington, DC, on January 30, 2017.
The Supreme Court has agreed to hear the Trump administration’s challenge of rulings blocking his executive order restricting travel from six Muslim-majority countries.
The top U.S. court will allow enforcement of parts of the “travel ban” while the case moves forward.
Trump has argued that the measure, a key campaign plank and one of the most divisive moves of his young presidency, is necessary to prevent terrorist attacks in the U.S.
Two federal appeals courts previously upheld rulings that largely blocked enforcement of the executive order.
