Trump's temporary immigration ban which is outlined to against the citizens from six muslim-majority countries and the rest of the refugees started to be applied.
Quoted from REUTERS, Thursday (29/6, the travel ban started to be implemented on Thursday (29/6) at 8 pm local time or Friday (30/6) at 07.00 GMT.
However, the ban was reduced. The US still allows citizens from those countries to travel to the country.
The application of the controversial policy was carried out after the U.S. Supreme Court decided to allow Trump's executive order to apply the policy. However, the Supreme Court has reduced the scope of the ban, one is excluding the citizens and refugees who have a relationship with someone who can be trusted in the US.
Earlier, the Foreign Ministry said, according to the verdict of the Supreme Court, any visa applicants from Iran, Libya, Syria, Somalia, the Sudan and Yemen must have a close relationship with the family or an official relationship with someone in the U.S. to be allowed entry into the United States.
Trump first announced the immigrant ban last January. He mentioned, the ban as a step to combat terrorism, in order to give time to enhance the security checks. The command caused a little chaos at the airports because the officers struggled to carry it out.
The presidential decree was then blocked by federal courts in the middle of the agitation from various parties who thought it as an act of discrimination against Muslims, and there was no reason to question the justification of the security aspects.
The recent update of the immigration ban then appeared on March, but later frozen by the Court. At the beginning of this week, the Supreme Court decided to issue the permit of the ban's application.
Based on the decision of the Supreme Court, the citizens of the six countries and the entire refugees barred from entering the U.S., each for 90 days and 120 days.
The ban will only be partially implemented until the Supreme Court take the case into a trial for the next period, at the beginning October 2017.
