US President Donald Trump's order to block arrivals from six mainly Muslim countries takes partial effect Thursday after he won a Supreme Court victory over rights groups.
But implementation of the order after five months of legal challenges could be chaotic, in part due to the meaning of a key term used in the court's ruling Monday: "bona fide."
The court said that Trump could only ban travelers from the targeted countries "who lack any bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States."
With a 72-hour preparation period set before implementing the ban, the ruling has sent lawyers diving into legal texts to define that.
They need to set standards for US immigration officials and diplomats in Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen, and also at US arrival points, who will decide who from those countries can still enter the United States.
