WHAT IS THE TRAVEL BAN?

The current version of the ban prevents immigrants, refugees, and visa holders from Iran, Libya, North Korea, Somalia, Syria and Yemen from entering the United States. Certain members of the government of Venezuela and their immediate families are also banned from entering the U.S.

This policy was issued in September and has been in effect since December when the Supreme Court ruled the administration could go ahead with it.

Those voting the travel ban is constitutional were Chief Justice Roberts and Justices Anthony Kennedy, Clarence Thomas, Samuel Alito and Neil Gorsuch.

Each of those justices was nominated to serve on the Supreme Court by Republican presidents.

Those dissenting in Tuesday’s decision were Stephen Breyer, Elena Kagan, Sonia Sotomayor and Ruth Bader Ginsburg.

Each of those justices was nominated by Democratic presidents.

WHAT COUNTRIES ARE ON THE TRAVEL BAN?

IRAN

Iran is the world’s fifth-largest petroleum producer. The country produces about 4.1 million barrels a day.

It has 158.4 billion barrels of crude oil reserves — the fourth largest supply in the world.
