美国最高法院驳回了两个有关川普总统禁止人口多为穆斯林的若干国家的公民入境美国的案件中的一个。
最高法院驳回了美国公民自由联盟提起的案件，因为它要求推翻的旅行禁令已经过期，现已由新的禁令取代。
但是最高法院的法官没有针对夏威夷州提起的案件采取行动。这个案件涉及旅行禁令以及另外一项针对难民的禁令。难民禁令10月24号到期。
最初的旅行禁令不准伊朗、利比亚、索马里、苏丹、叙利亚和也门的公民进入美国，除非他们与美国的实体或个人间存在切实的关系。
新的禁令对乍得、伊朗、利比亚、朝鲜、索马里、叙利亚、委内瑞拉以及也门的公民有不同程度的限制。修订过的新禁令10月18号开始生效。这项禁令在初级法院已经受到挑战。
The U.S. Supreme Court has dismissed one of two cases pending before it over President Donald Trump’s ban on travel from Muslim-majority countries.
The court threw out the case brought by the American Civil Liberties Union because the ban it sought to overthrow has since expired, and replaced by a new one.
But the justices took no action on a separate case from Hawaii. That dispute concerns both the travel ban and a separate ban on refugees, which does not expire until Oct. 24.
The original ban had barred citizens of Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the United States unless they had a “credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.”
The new restrictions affect citizens of Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen in varying degrees. The revised travel order goes into effect on Oct. 18th. It already has been challenged in the lower courts.
