TEHRAN, April 23 - The case represents a test of the limits of presidential power. Trump’s policy, announced in September, blocks entry into the United States of most people from Libya, Somalia, Iran, Syria and Yemen. Chad previously was on the list but Trump lifted those restrictions on April 10.

TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The high court has never decided 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 United States illegally as children.

It has previously acted on Trump requests to undo lower court orders blocking those two policies, siding with him on the travel ban and opposing him on the Dreamers.

The conservative-majority Supreme Court is due to hear arguments on Wednesday on the third version of a travel ban policy Trump first sought to implement a week after taking office in January 2017, and issue a ruling by the end of June.
