The U.S. Supreme Court said most of President Trump's controversial travel ban could go into effect until the high court takes up the case in the fall. So it's at least a partial and temporary victory for the president to finally make good on a major campaign promise.

We'll get reaction from a local immigration attorney who has strenuously opposed the ban, and turn to WBUR's legal analyst for a deeper understanding of some other key Supreme Court decisions released Monday.

Guests

Susan Church, immigration attorney and chair of the New England Chapter of the American Immigration Lawyers Association. She tweets @SusanBChurch11.
