Trump v. Hawaii
Supreme Court of the United States
138 S. Ct. 2392 (2018)
Relevant factsFree
After extensive interagency review of every country's information-sharing practices, President Trump (defendant) issued a proclamation restricting entry of nationals from eight countries whose vetting systems were deemed inadequate; Hawaii (plaintiff) challenged the proclamation as exceeding statutory authority under the Immigration and Nationality Act and as motivated by anti-Muslim animus in violation of the Establishment Clause.
IssueFree
Whether a presidential proclamation placing entry restrictions on foreign nationals of particular countries is sufficiently justified by national-security concerns to survive rational basis review.
