The Supreme Court on Monday gave President Trump another major win by granting his administration’s request to fully reinstate the third version of his travel ban.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and a federal district court in Maryland had said the president could only block nationals from the designated eight countries if they lacked a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States. The high court’s decision now puts those rulings on hold.
Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Sonia Sotomayor said they would have denied the government’s request.
This is not the final word on the ban, however. The Supreme Court did not address the merits of the challenges to the executive order, it simply allowed the ban to go into full effect while the cases are progressing through the federal courts. But it is still generally a good sign for the administration’s legal position as two federal appeals courts prepare to hear oral arguments on the issue.
