Lower courts had partially blocked the new policy regarding Donald Trump’s travel ban, issuing orders that tracked the US Supreme Court’s June decision. Photo: AFPWashington: A divided US Supreme Court let President Donald Trump’s travel ban take full effect while legal challenges go forward, handing him a major victory and suggesting the court ultimately will uphold the restrictions. It marks the first time the Supreme Court has let his entry restrictions take full effect. The new orders apply for the remainder of the appeals process, including possible Supreme Court review. The new Supreme Court orders don’t directly address the merits of the legal challenges.
