Supreme Court dismisses Hawaii's challenge to Trump travel ban | Reuters
'The expired ban had targeted people from Iran, Libya, Syria, Yemen, Somalia and Sudan. '
'Among the issues raised by challengers was whether the travel ban discriminated against Muslims in violation of the U.S. Constitution’s prohibition on the government favoring or disfavoring a particular religion. '
'Trump’s 120-day ban on refugees ended on Tuesday and is set to be replaced by a new set of restrictions. '
'Two lower courts have blocked Trump’s new ban targeting people from eight countries, Trump’s third set of travel restrictions, and the issue could find its way back to the Supreme Court on appeal. '
' Trump had promised as a candidate “a total and complete shutdown of Muslims entering the United States.”'

The U.S. Supreme Court on Tuesday formally dropped plans to hear the last remaining challenge to an earlier version of President Donald Trump’s travel ban targeting several Muslim-majority countries and a ban on refugees, but a fight over the legality of his latest restrictions still could reach the nine justices.
