United States Supreme Court
Case Name: DONALD J. TRUMP, PRESIDENT OF THE UNITED STATES, ET AL. v. INTERNATIONAL REFUGEE ASSISTANCE
Case No.: 16-1436, 16-1540
Focus: Entry of foreign nationals
These cases involve challenges to Executive Order No. 13780, Protecting the Nation From Foreign Terrorist Entry Into the United States. The order alters practices concerning the entry of foreign nationals into the United States by, among other things, suspending entry of nationals from six designated countries for 90 days. Respondents challenged the order in two separate lawsuits. They obtained preliminary injunctions barring enforcement of several of its provisions, including the 90-day suspension of entry. The injunctions were upheld in large measure by the Courts of Appeals.
