WASHINGTON, DC (RNN/AP) - The Supreme Court on Tuesday upheld President Donald Trump's ban on travel from multiple Muslim-majority countries. 

The 5-4 decision was the court’s first substantive ruling on a Trump administration policy.

Chief Justice John Roberts wrote the majority opinion, saying presidents have substantial power to regulate immigration. He was joined in the majority by his four conservative colleagues.
