What You'll Learn
Trump's immigration ban was labelled the 'Muslim ban'
The ban was proposed by Trump as a suspension of immigration from "areas of the world" with a history of terrorism. This was a change from his previous proposal to suspend Muslim immigration to the US. The ban was described by critics as reviving a version of the travel ban implemented by Executive Order 13780, though it was said to be more expansive.
Key provisions of Executive Order 13780 cite to paragraph (f) of Title 8 of the United States Code § 1182, which discusses inadmissible aliens. Paragraph (f) states: "Whenever the President finds that the entry of any aliens or of any class of aliens into the United States would be detrimental to the interests of the United States, he may by proclamation, and for such period as he shall deem necessary, suspend the entry of all aliens or any class of aliens as immigrants or nonimmigrants, or impose on the entry of aliens any restrictions he may deem to be appropriate".
The ban was blocked by various courts, including the Hawaii District Court, which blocked the second executive order travel ban and refugee ban before they took effect on constitutional grounds. The Supreme Court allowed the government to implement the travel ban and refugee ban, except with respect to those with "bona fide relationships".
