Donald Trump has secured a considerable legal and political victory, after the Supreme Court ruled that it will allow a limited version of his Muslim travel ban to take effect.

A series of lower courts had ruled his executive order, banning the entry of people from six Muslim-majority nations and suspending America’s refugee programme, was unconstitutional.

Republican presidential hopeful Ben Carson said on Sept.20 no Muslim should be president of the United States, adding a new twist to a controversy roiling the party's White House nominating race.

The FBI and National Security Agency monitored the emails of prominent Muslim-American activists, academics and a political candidate, according to a report co-authored by journalist Glenn Greenwald.
