The US Supreme Court has set a 10-day deadline for the challengers of President Donald Trump's controversial travel ban on citizens from six Muslim- majority countries to respond to the government's emergency request to let the order take effect. <br/><br/>The Court yesterday asked the challengers to respond by 12th of this month, the Justice Department's filings urging to review the legality of the travel ban and to allow it to go into force while the litigation goes forward. <br/><br/>The Trump administration had yesterday urged the Supreme Court to reinstate its travel ban, elevating a divisive legal battle involving national security and religious discrimination.
