The U.S. Supreme Court today (June 26, 2018) handed Donald Trump one of the biggest victories of his presidency by upholding his travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries, and rejecting the idea that it represented unconstitutional religious discrimination, the Global News website reports.
The 5-4 ruling ends a fierce fight in the courts over whether the policy represented an unlawful Muslim ban.
Chief Justice Roberts said that the government "has set forth a sufficient national security justification" to prevail.
The ruling affirms broad presidential authority over who is allowed to enter the U.S. The current ban prohibits entry into the U.S. of people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria, and Yemen, but Trump now has the authority to add more countries to the travel ban.
