The Supreme Court took the unusual step to immediately release audio of oral arguments in the challenge of the Trump administration's travel ban Wednesday.
Supreme Court hears from all corners of the country ahead of travel ban case
The Trump administration's third version of the travel ban issued in September places varying levels of restrictions on foreign nationals from seven countries: Iran, Libya, North Korea, Syria, Venezuela, Somalia and Yemen. Here are some of the highlights:Against the banCritics of the government say the ban does not protect national security. Lisa Blatt, an Arnold & Porter lawyer, represents Iranian-American nonprofit organizations who argue that the latest version of the travel ban continues to "demean and stigmatize minority communities." If the justices are curious about how many visas were issued before and after the travel ban proclamation took effect, Blatt provides the information. "In 2016," she says that the United States issued more than 73,500 immigrant and nonimmigrant visas to nationals of the countries affected by the travel ban.
Supreme Court appears ready to uphold Trump's travel ban

The current version, announced in September, prohibits entry into the United States of most people from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. No one from those countries has carried out an attack in the United States. The high court in June and December 2017 allowed two versions of the ban to take effect while court challenges ran their course.
