Camila Domonoske | NPR|The Supreme Court's decision to allow part of President Trump's travel ban to take effect means that many already-vetted refugees will be denied entry to the U.S.
Bashir Kashefi, a refugee from Afghanistan, says he will celebrate July 4th but is concerned about the reinstated travel ban that temporarily bars refugees.
According to the U.S. State Department, a relationship with a resettlement agency is not enough to clear the way for a refugee to enter the U.S. under the latest travel ban.
The first day of the reinstated travel ban limiting travel from six Muslim-majority countries passed without large protests or reported traveler delays.
At LAX, attorneys from legal advocacy groups set up to offer help to travelers as a small group of protesters gather to demonstrate against the travel ban.
Under a court order, those from six countries with valid visas and ties with a person or entity here should be clear to enter the U.S. The key word is "should."
In reinstating a partial travel ban, the Supreme Court said those who lack established ties to a person, workplace, or other U.S. entity could be temporarily barred.
