FAIRFAX, VA—Americans for Limited Government President Rick Manning today issued the following statement praising the Supreme Court for lifting the injunctions that had been issued against President Donald Trump’s temporary travel restrictions on the vast majority of potential immigrants and refugees from six countries “who lack any bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States”:
“We praise the Court for sticking to the actual four corners of the executive order by allowing the vast majority of the temporary travel ban to go back into effect. This is a return to the rule of law, where the Supreme Court for now has refused to affirm lower courts’ rationale for issuing the injunctions not based on the actual laws and policies in question, but instead on political campaign rhetoric that had no bearing on the actual case. For now, this is a huge victory not only for the Trump administration, but for the constitutional separation of powers.”
