WASHINGTON: President Donald Trump’s administration went before the U S Supreme Court on Wednesday to defend the legality of his travel ban targeting people from several Muslim-majority countries, one of the most contentious actions of his presidency. The conservative-majority, nine-member court began hearing a scheduled hour of arguments in a challenge led by the state of Hawaii to Trump’s travel ban, which is the third version of a policy he first sought to implement a week after taking office in January 2017.The policy blocks entry into the United States of most people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Chad was on the list announced in September, but Trump removed it on April 10.The conservative-majority, nine-member court has never heard arguments on the legal merits of the travel ban or any other major Trump immigration policy, including his move to rescind protections for young immigrants sometimes called Dreamers brought into the US illegally as children. It has previously acted on the Republican president’s requests to undo lower court orders blocking those two policies, siding with Trump on the travel ban and opposing him on the Dreamers.
