A renewed version of U.S. President Donald Trump's travel ban - which blocks people from several Muslim-majority countries from entering the country - went into effect Thursday.
This, after the U.S. Supreme Court allowed for parts of Trump's initial ban to go through, emphasizing that foreign nationals who "have a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the U.S.," will not be targeted.
The interpretation of a bona fide relationship was narrowly defined, resulting in the exclusion of members outside the nuclear family circle.
"Grandparents, grandchildren, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews, cousins, brothers-in-law and sisters-in-law, fiancees or other extended family members are not considered to be close relationships," explained the State Department.
Citizens of the six affected countries – Iraq, Iran, Libya, Syria, Sudan, and Yemen – now face the terms of the ban for 90 days. In October, the Supreme Court will hear the full case and a final ruling will be handed down.
As soon as the ban came into effect, the hashtag #ThisIsWhoYouBan began making the rounds online - with several people sharing personal stories to prove a point.
