Saw You in Court: Supremes Lift Lower Courts’ Block of Trump Travel Ban
Supreme Court Reinstates Trump Travel Ban from Muslim-Majority Countries
The Court wrote that the lower court injunctions, even accepting the First Amendment arguments against the order as likely to succeed, went too far:
[T]he injunctions reach much further than that: They also bar enforcement of §2(c) against foreign nationals abroad who have no connection to the United States at all. The equities relied on by the lower courts do not balance the same way in that context. Denying entry to such a foreign national does not burden any American party by reason of that party’s relationship with the foreign national.
