SFO & LAX Clinics UPDATE   Supreme Court Ruling This Morning

As you may know, the Supreme Court issued a ruling this morning agreeing to hear the case challenging the Trump Administration's Muslim travel ban in the second Executive Order.  In the ruling, the Court did not allow the travel ban to apply to foreign nationals who have relationships with persons or organizations in the United States. The Court's narrow ruling does allow implementation of the travel ban only for persons from the 6 countries named in the second executive order who do not have a relationship with any person or entity in the United States. Pursuant to the President's June 14th memo, we believe the government will not implement the Court's ruling for 72 hours - or until Thursday morning, June 29. The SFO Bay Area and LAX airport coalitions were in contact immediately following the Court's ruling, and we are working both within California and with the international collaboration of the the airport clinics to assess both the impact of and response to the ruling. We will send out alerts to this email listserv as the planning takes shape and if there is a need for volunteers at the airports. Many thanks, The LAX and SFO Bay Area Coalition Members
