Trump travel ban partly reinstated
Supreme Court
arguments set
for in the fall
By MARK SHERMAN
Associated Press
WASHINGTON — The
Supreme Court is letting a lim-
ited version of President Don-
ald Trump’s ban on travel from
six mostly Muslim countries
take effect, a victory for Trump
in the biggest legal contro-
versy of his young presidency.
The justices will hear full
arguments in October in the
case that has stirred heated
emotions across the nation. In
the meantime, the court said
today that Trump’s ban on visi-
tors from Iran, Libya, Somalia,
Sudan, Syria and Yemen can
be enforced if those visitors
lack a “credible claim of a bona
fide relationship with a person
or entity in the United States.”
Trump said last week that
the ban would take effect 72
hours after being cleared by
courts.
The administration has said
the 90-day ban was needed
on national security grounds
to allow an internal review of
screening procedures for visa
applicants from the six coun-
tries. Opponents say the ban
is unlawful, based on visitors’
Muslim religion. The adminis-
tration review should be com-
plete before Oct. 2, the first
day the justices could hear
arguments in their new term.
A 120-ban on refugees also
is being allowed to take effect
on a limited basis.
Three of the court’s conser-
vative justices said they would
have let the complete bans take
effect.
Justice Clarence Thomas,
joined by Samuel Alito and
Neil Gorsuch, said the gov-
ernment has shown it is likely
to succeed on the merits of
the case, and that it will suf-
fer irreparable harm with any
interference. Thomas said the
government’s interest in pre-
serving national security out-
weighs any hardship to people
denied entry into the country.
Some immigration law-
yers said the limited nature of
the ban and the silence of the
court’s liberals on the issue
today suggested that the court
had not handed Trump much
of a victory. The White House
did not immediately comment.
The
court’s
opinion
explained the kinds of rela-
tionships people from the six
countries must demonstrate to
obtain a U.S. visa.
“For individuals, a close
familial
relationship
is
required,” the court said. For
people who want to come to
the United States to work or
study, “the relationship must
be formal, documented and
formed in the ordinary course,
not for the purpose of evading”
the travel ban.
The opinion faulted the two
federal appeals courts that had
blocked the travel policy for
going too far to limit Trump’s
authority over immigration.
The president announced the
travel ban a week after he took
office in January and revised
it in March after setbacks in
court.
The 4th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals in Richmond,
Virginia, said the ban was
“rooted in religious animus”
toward Muslims and pointed
to Trump’s campaign prom-
ise to impose a ban on Mus-
lims entering the country as
well as tweets and remarks
he has made since becoming
president.
The San Francisco-based
9th U.S. Circuit Court of
Appeals said the travel policy
does not comply with federal
immigration law, including
a prohibition on nationali-
ty-based discrimination. That
court also put a hold on sepa-
rate aspects of the policy that
would keep all refugees out of
the United States for 120 days
and cut by more than half,
from 110,000 to 50,000, the
cap on refugees in the current
government spending year that
ends September 30.
Trump’s first executive
order on travel applied to trav-
elers from Iraq and well as the
six countries, and took effect
immediately, causing chaos
and panic at airports over the
last weekend in January as the
Homeland Security Depart-
ment scrambled to figure out
whom the order covered and
how it was to be implemented.
A federal judge blocked it
eight days later, an order that
was upheld by a 9th circuit
panel. Rather than pursue an
appeal, the administration said
it would revise the policy.
In March, Trump issued the
narrower order.

Supreme Court rules for Missouri
church in playground case
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court has ruled that churches
have the same right as other charitable groups to seek state money
for new playground surfaces and other non-religious needs.
Today, the justices ruled 7-2 in favor of Trinity Lutheran Church
of Columbia, Missouri. The church sought a grant to put a soft sur-
face on its preschool playground, but was denied any money even
though its application was ranked fifth out of 44 submissions.
Chief Justice John Roberts said for the court that it “is odious
to our Constitution” to exclude the church from the grant program.
Roberts said that’s true even though the consequences are only “a
few extra scraped knees.”
Supreme Court takes on new
clash of gay rights, religion
WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court is taking on a new
clash between gay rights and religion in a case about a wedding
cake for a same-sex couple in Colorado.
The justices said today they will consider whether a baker who
objects to same-sex marriage on religious grounds can refuse to
make a wedding cake for a gay couple.
The case asks the high court to balance the religious rights of
the baker against the couple’s right to equal treatment under the
law. Similar disputes have popped up across the United States.
The decision to take on the case reflects renewed energy among
the court’s conservative justices, whose ranks have recently been
bolstered by the addition of Justice Neil Gorsuch to the high court.
The court will review a Colorado court decision that found
baker Jack Phillips and his Masterpiece Cakeshop discriminated
against the gay couple under Colorado law.
Phillips told the Supreme Court he has free speech and religious
rights under the First Amendment that should protect him. He said
he should not be compelled to bake a cake specifically to honor a
same-sex marriage.
Colorado’s anti-discrimination law protects people on the basis
of their sexual orientation. Charlie Craig and David Mullins filed
a complaint against Phillips and his suburban Denver shop after
Phillips said he would not create and decorate a cake in honor of
their marriage.
Colorado did not permit same-sex couples to marry until 2014.
Two years earlier, Craig and Mullin were planning to fly to Massa-
chusetts, where same-sex marriage was legal, and host a reception
in Denver upon their return to Colorado. They wanted the cake for
the occasion.
Seattle’s $15 minimum wage
costs jobs, new study finds
SEATTLE — A new study of Seattle’s $15-an-hour minimum
wage law says it costs jobs, contrary to another new study released
last week.

have the same right as other charitable groups to seek

found the law boosted pay in low-wage jobs since 2014 but that it
also caused a 9 percent reduction in hours worked. For an average
low-wage Seattle worker, that’s a loss of about $125 per month.
The study says there would be about 5,000 more low-wage jobs
in the city without the law.
Seattle was one of the first U.S. cities to adopt a $15 minimum
wage law. It is raising the minimum to $15 by 2021.
A review last week by University of California at Berkeley
economists found the law raised pay without hurting jobs in the
restaurant industry.
Takata files for bankruptcy,
overwhelmed by air bag recalls
Japanese air bag maker Takata Corp. filed for bankruptcy pro-
tection in Tokyo and the U.S. today, saying it was the only way to
ensure it could carry on supplying replacements for faulty air bag
inflators linked to the deaths of at least 16 people.
Most of Takata’s assets will be bought by rival Key Safety Sys-
tems, a Chinese-owned company based in suburban Detroit, for
about $1.6 billion (175 billion yen).
The company’s executives sought to reassure their customers,
suppliers and shareholders in a news conference today. With the
company rapidly losing value while Takata struggled to reorganize
its finances, filing for bankruptcy protection was the only option,
Takata’s president, Shigehisa Takada, told reporters.
“As a maker of safety parts for the automobile industry, our fail-
ure to maintain a stable supply would have a major impact across
the industry,” Takada said in Tokyo.
Takata’s inflators can explode with too much force when they
fill up an air bag, spewing out shrapnel. Apart from the fatalities,
they’re responsible for at least 180 injuries, and are grappling with
the largest automotive recall in U.S. history. So far 100 million
BEIJING — The world’s biggest coal users — China, the
United States and India — have boosted coal mining in 2017, in
an abrupt departure from last year’s record global decline for the
heavily polluting fuel and a setback to efforts to rein in climate
change emissions.
Mining data reviewed by The Associated Press show that pro-
duction through May is up by at least 121 million tons, or 6 per-
cent, for the three countries compared to the same period last year.
The change is most dramatic in the U.S., where coal mining rose
19 percent in the first five months of the year, according to U.S.
Department of Energy data.
Coal’s fortunes had appeared to hit a new low less than two
weeks ago, when British energy company BP reported that ton-
nage mined worldwide fell 6.5 percent in 2016, the largest drop
on record. China and the U.S. accounted for almost all the decline,
while India showed a slight increase.
The reasons for this year’s turnaround include policy shifts in
China, changes in U.S. energy markets and India’s continued push
to provide electricity to more of its poor, industry experts said.
President Donald Trump’s role as coal’s booster-in-chief in the
U.S. has played at most a minor role, they said.
The fuel’s popularity waned over the past several years as
renewable power and natural gas made gains and China moved to
curb dangerous levels of urban smog from burning coal.
Dozens missing after tourist
boat sinks in Colombia
GUATAPE, Colombia — A tourist boat packed with about 160
passengers for the holiday weekend capsized Sunday on a reser-
voir near the Colombian city of Medellin, leaving at least six peo-
ple dead and 31 missing, officials said.
Rescuers including firefighters and air force pilots in helicopters
searched for survivors at the Guatape reservoir where El Almirante
ferry sank. A flotilla of recreational boats and jet skis rushed to the
scene, pulling people from the boat as it went down and avoiding
an even deadlier tragedy.
Dramatic videos circulating on social media show the turquoise
and yellow trimmed party boat rocking back and forth as people
crawled down from a fourth-floor roof as it sank in a matter of min-
utes. Survivors described hearing a loud explosion near the men’s
bathroom that knocked out power a few minutes after the boat
began its cruise around the giant lake. As water flooded on board,
pressure built and people were sucked under by the sinking ship.
“Those on the first and second floors sank immediately,” survi-
vor Lorena Salazar told local media. “All we could do was scream
and call for help....it was completely chaotic.”
Margarita Moncada, the head of the disaster response agency in
Antioquia state, said that according to a preliminary report 99 peo-
ple were rescued and another 40 managed to find a way to shore on
their own. Speaking to reporters from the reservoir, she said nine
people had been killed and around 28 were missing.
