International Coverage of Travel Ban Decision

Yesterday, the U.S. Supreme Court allowed implementation of Trump's travel ban. American news sources like The Washington Post and POLITICO included discussion of previous rulings, specific justices, and other political implications of the decision.

RT's coverage had a negative tone, quoting the ACLU's critical tweets and the Solicitor General's accusation that some foreign governments do not properly screen individuals entering the U.S.

The first thing you see in Al Jazeera's coverage is an image of a protester holding a sign that says "no ban no wall #heretostay." The article also declines to mention that some individuals from North Korea and Venezuela were recently included in the ban until the very end of the article.
