On December 4, 2017, the U.S. Supreme Court issued two orders staying the preliminary injunctions issued against President Trump’s September 24, 2017 Presidential Proclamation by the U.S. District Court for the District of Hawaii in the case Hawaii v. Trump and by the U.S. District Court for the District of Maryland in the case IRAP v. Trump, pending the disposition of the administration’s appeals of these District Court rulings to the U.S. Court of the Appeals for the Ninth Circuit and Fourth Circuit, and any subsequent writs of certiorari.
The Supreme Court’s December 4, 2017 ruling means that the administration may fully implement President Trump’s September 24, 2017 Presidential Proclamation. The proclamation imposes country-specific travel restrictions on eight countries: Chad, Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria, Venezuela, and Yemen. In addition, nationals of Iraq will be subject to extra screening measures.
The U.S. Department of Homeland Security provides a fact sheet on its website published on September 25, 2017, regarding the Presidential Proclamation and its implementation. The U.S. Department of State previously issued guidance on November 17, 2017, regarding the implementation of the proclamation and is anticipated to update this guidance in light of the Supreme Court’s December 4, 2017 ruling.
