Protest in Atlanta over Muslim travel ban

Less than two-percent of visa applicants have been granted waivers exempting them from the Trump administration's travel ban on several mostly Muslim nations.

Those figures come from a newly released state department report released, as the country reacts to the Supreme Court ruling to uphold the ban.

The justices ruled 5 to 4, rejecting a challenge that the ban was discriminatory, or exceeded the president's authority.

President Trump celebrated the ruling calling it "A tremendous victory for the American people and for the Constitution".

But "No ban, no wall, justice for all" were the chants against the travel ban which rang out outside the federal courthouse in downtown Atlanta Tuesday afternoon.

The Georgia Chapter of the Council On American-Islamic Relations held a protest there after the Supreme Court handed down their ruling on the ban.

A leader with the ACLU of Georgia said it's important for people who oppose the ban to speak up.

Leaders at the demonstration call the decision a "setback, but not the end of the struggle".
