Supreme Court upholds funding requirement for foreign organizations


(CNN) The Supreme Court upheld on Monday a requirement that foreign organizations must have policies opposing prostitution and sex trafficking in order to receive funding from the federal government. The vote was split along ideological lines, with a 5-3 vote and Supreme Court Justice Sonia Sotomayor not taking part in the opinion. Justice Brett Kavanaugh delivered the opinion of the court. This is the requirement's second visit to the Supreme Court. Despite the Supreme Court's decision, according to the Alliance for Open Society International's court brief, the government continued to apply the requirement to funding for organizations and their foreign affiliates -- to which a district court responded by filing a permanent injunction.
