138 S.Ct. 2392 (2018)Facts
A proclamation issued by President Trump (Petitioner) that placed every restrictions on the nationals of eight foreign states whose systems for managing and sharing information about their nationals was challenged by the State of Hawaii (Respondent) on the grounds that it violates the Establishment Clause of the First Amendment. President Trump in September 2017 had replaced Travel Ban 2.0 with Travel Ban 3.0. Proclamation No. 9645 placed every restrictions on the nationals of eight foreign states whose systems for managing and sharing information about their nationals the President deemed inadequate. DHS identified countries having deficient information-sharing practices and presenting national security concerns. After consulting with Cabinet members, the President adopted the recommendations and issued the Proclamation as Travel Ban 3.0. The President determined that certain restrictions were necessary to prevent the entry of those foreign nationals about whom the U.S. government lacks sufficient information and elicit improved identity-management and information-sharing protocols and practices from foreign governments.
