La Presse – La Cour suprême valide le décret migratoire de Trump

La Cour suprême des États-Unis autorise l’application pleine et entière du décret migratoire de l’administration du président Donald Trump, qui interdit l’entrée au pays des ressortissants de six pays à majorité musulmane, d’ici à ce que le dossier soit jugé sur le fond. La majorité des juges du plus haut tribunal du pays ont affirmé lundi que le décret pouvait s’appliquer tel quel pendant que des tribunaux inférieurs étudient la légalité de la mesure.

President Trump, who ended the Obama-era deferred action program in September, has set a March 5 deadline for lawmakers to act before the bulk of the permits begin to expire at a rate of nearly 1,000 per day. Motivated anew, the dreamers are planning to ramp up the emotional, in-your-face demonstrations that have brought them to this precipice.
