United States Supreme Court Rules with 12 Attorneys General on Immigration Law

PIERRE, S.D. – Attorney General Marty Jackley announced today that the United States Supreme Court issued a decision allowing President Trump’s executive order, commonly called the “travel ban”, to take effect, with certain exceptions. The Court will hear the merits of the travel ban appeal this fall.

“The President of the United States has extraordinary power and authority to restrict alien entry into the United States for public-safety and national-security reasons. Our nation’s inconsistent immigration policy is unnecessarily affecting public safety and travel in South Dakota and this decision allows for time to review this current policy and ensure that protections are in place for our citizens,” said Jackley.

In March 2017, South Dakota joined 12 State Attorneys General and Governor Phil Bryant of Mississippi in support of the temporary immigration policy.

  1. “United States Supreme Court issued a decision allowing President Trump’s executive order, commonly called the “travel ban”, to take effect, with certain exceptions.”?– So? Why weren’t those “exceptions” posted?

    1. They were listed on the news yesterday, at least on One America News on Direct TV. The exceptions were individuals who had family in the US.

  2. Is the exception family or just a relationship with someone in the US? I heard relationship which could mean anything, and lead to lawsuits.

    1. The relationship standard seems to me to be very broad. I don’t agree with them but I understand the rationale.

      That said, if there is just a rationale, why did the Supreme Court rule in favor of openness vs. caution regarding national and citizen security when the travel ban was temporary vs. permanent?

  3. So the 9th Circus Court of Appeal was slapped down, and this includes by ALL 9 of the Supes, including the leftwing, anti-Constituion wing, so I guess it was constitutional.

    I guess it goes to show how political some judges are, but what do you expect from Obama appointees?
