Today the Supreme Court agreed to let President Trump's immigration travel ban go into effect for some travelers, reversing the actions of lower federal courts that had put the controversial policy completely on hold. The court also agreed to revisit the case in the early fall. The justices' action gives Trump a partial victory following a string of defeats from coast to coast.

It should be noted that the approval of the ban "may not be enforced against foreign nationals who have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States." For more on this read the full USA Today report here.

When Apple's CEO met with President Trump last week along with other top CEO's from Slicon Valley he told the President that technology employees were "nervous" about the administration's approach to immigration.

In the big picture, President Trump's ban is focused on refugees from a number of Muslim countries where it's almost impossible for U.S. authorities to properly vet them. The fear from Silicon Valley employees may be overplayed by the liberal media who have had an axe to grind with the President ever since being elected in November 2016. The revised ban didn't include visa and green card holders which should have eased some tensions for tech workers.

In the video below from last week's meeting with technology leaders, President Trump acknowledged that tech companies need assistance in getting the workers they need to fulfill positions and that he and Congress were working on that very issue. It was a more conciliatory tone on immigration than the media has framed the issue to date. We even see Apple's CEO below smiling around the President which is a rarity.
