The Supreme Court of the United States ruled, Tuesday, in favor of President Donald Trump’s Muslim ban, an order made public in September, restricting travel from majority Muslim countries, reports CNBC.

The court found that Trump’s restriction was «squarely» part of his authority, rejecting accusations suggesting that the ban was «motivated by religious hostility», says the same source.
«The [order] is expressly premised on legitimate purposes: preventing entry of nationals who cannot be adequately vetted and inducing other nations to improve their practices», wrote Chief Justice John Roberts.
For the record, the infamous Muslim ban prevented people from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela and Yemen from entering the American soil.
