Travel ban: SC upholds ruling on grandparents

The US Supreme Court of  the United States has rejected  a bid by President Donald Trump to block a Hawaii judge’s ruling that prevented his travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority countries from being applied to grandparents of US citizens.

But in a partial win for Trump, the court put on hold part of the judge’s ruling that would allow more people to enter the US under a separate ban on refugees if it went into effect. The order said the court’s decision was temporary while the San Francisco-based 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals considered a separate appeal on the sissue. Three of the conservatives of nine justices noted that they would have granted Trump’s request in full.

The latest round in the fight over Trump’s March 6 executive order began after the Supreme Court intervened last month to partially revive the two bans, which were blocked by lower courts
