Trump has been fighting for his unpopular ban all year. He first signed the executive order in January, sparking protests across the country and in other cities across the world. A series of judges then blocked it before Trump vowed to take it all the way to the Supreme Court.
A new draft, excluding Iraq, was unveiled in March and a temporary version rolled out in June. The current version is Trump's third attempt to push it through.
The ACLU and SPLC were among the first organizations to express dismay and vow to fight the order as the news broke.
