Den amerikanske højesteret opretholder Trumps visumrestriktioner for fem muslimske lande og Nordkorea og Venezuela.

Højesteret siger, at restriktionerne er indenfor de almindelige fuldmagter præsidenten har.

A five-justice majority of the U.S. Supreme Court upheld the latest iteration of President Donald Trump’s travel sanctions Tuesday.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the opinion, joined by Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito, and Neil Gorsuch.

“The president has lawfully exercised the broad discretion granted to him under [federal law],” Roberts wrote.

Klagerne hævder, at Trumps egentlige motiv er at rakke ned på islam. Det afviser højesteretten.

The Court also rejected the plaintiff’s constitutional argument, which alleged the policy’s true purpose was to disparage Islam, in violation of the First Amendment.

Restriktionerne gælder ikke bare muslimske lande, men også Venezuela og Nordkorea. De fem muslimske lande er Iran, Yemen, Somalia, Libyen og Syrien.
