The Supreme Court on Monday handed a victory<\/a> to President Donald Trump by ruling in favor of the newest travel freeze. Lower court rulings had prohibited the administration from applying the proclamation to foreigners who have a \u201cbona fide\u201d tie to the country. Monday\u2019s ruling, however, will allow the administration to carry out the new policy to its fullest extent until the case is decided on its merits.<\/p>\n This marks<\/a> the first time justices have allowed any edition of the freeze to go forward in its entirety. With only two of the nine justices dissenting, it signals that the high court is distinguishing the latest version from previous iterations and could be more likely, in the future, to rule in favor of the freeze on the merits.<\/p>\n
