The Supreme Court will decide in October whether Trump can ban travellers from Iran, Somalia, Sudan, Yemen, Syria and Libya.
Until then, visitors from these countries ‘who lack any bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States’ will remain barred from the US.
Trump first tried to instigate the ban in January, but was blocked by the federal courts. The confusion that ensued saw thousands of travellers around the world unsure if they would be allowed back to their adopted US home. It has also dissuaded some UK Muslims from travelling to the country for fear that it is unwelcoming.
A revised order, issued in March, was in place for 90 days, during which other legal challenges were made.
Objections to Trump’s order are based on religious discrimination and claims that Trump has exceeded powers granted to him by Congress.
