OTTAWA — The Trudeau government says it is waiting for more details about the U. S. Supreme Court’s partial reinstatement of Donald Trump’s ban on travellers from six mainly Muslim countries.
But a spokesman for Immigration Minister Ahmed Hussen says dual nationals from the affected countries travelling on their Canadian passports would not be subject to the restrictions.
Spokesman Bernie Derible also says Canadian permanent residents from the six designated countries who have valid resident cards and valid U. S. visas, and are deemed eligible by U. S. border authorities to enter the U. S., would not be denied entry.
The U. S. high court handed Trump a political victory today after two lower appeal courts overturned his earlier attempts at imposing a ban.
The federal New Democrats, meanwhile, criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for refusing to personally speak out against the ban.
The Liberal Trudeau government has largely adopted a cautious, wait-and-see approach when it comes to the policy pronouncements and Twitter outbursts of the famously unpredictable U. S. president.
