WASHINGTON Wholesale Anaheim Ducks Hats , June 29 (Xinhua) -- The U.S. State Department said Thursday that it has began implementing a revised version of President Donald Trump's travel restriction policy, after it was given a partial green light by the Supreme Court earlier this week.

"We will instruct our posts to begin implementing at eight'o clock p.m. Eastern Daylight Time (0000 GMT Friday), June 29th," a State Department official said in a press call.

The adjusted version of Trump's controversial and harshly criticized temporary travel ban came after more than five months since it was first announced on January 27, which instantly sparked shock and anger all over the world.
