Supreme Court Upholds Trump Ban on Refugees Entering U.S.
---------------------------------------------------------

The Supreme Court on Wednesday upheld harsh restrictions against
refugees entering the United States while it considers the fate of
President Trump's travel ban. The move will prevent-at least for now-an
estimated 24,000 refugees from resettling in the U.S. The high court did
uphold a lower court order that will grant exemptions to Trump's ban on
travelers from six majority-Muslim nations to include those with
grandparents, aunts, uncles and other relatives living in the U.S.
