The ban, which restricts travel from five majority-Muslim nations, is one of Trump’s most controversial immigration policies. Its introduction caused chaos
at US airports and sparked nationwide protests during his first days as president. The suggested changes are not finalized.
The ban has gone through various iterations amid rounds of contentious legal battles. In June 2018, the Supreme Court upheld a pared-down version of the ban by a 5-4 vote that ruled the proclamation was “squarely within the scope of Presidential authority.”
