Edit Edit: It's not as bad as the title makes it seem. I just copied AP's tweet, which is way too short to paint the whole picture. Mods, please change the title.

Just this tweet for now I think. Will add more.
BREAKING: Supreme Court says Trump administration can enforce refugee ban for now.

WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court is granting the Trump administration's request to more strictly enforce its ban on refugees, at least until a federal appeals court weighs in.

But the justices are leaving in place a lower court order that makes it easier for travelers from six mostly Muslim countries to enter the United States.

The high court acted Wednesday on the administration's appeal of last week's ruling by U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson that required the government to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States. Watson also vastly expanded the family relations that refugees and visitors can use to get into the country.

The justices said the federal appeals court in San Francisco should now consider the appeal.

Bloomberg with an entirely different headline:

Trump Rejected by U.S. Supreme Court on Reach of Travel Ban

The U.S. Supreme Court dealt a blow to President Donald Trump on his embattled travel ban, rejecting his bid to bar entry by some people with family members already in the country.

The 6-3 order by the justices -- who last month let the president start restricting entry by people from six mostly Muslim countries -- means the government must accept people with grandparents, cousins and other relatives in the U.S.


The order gave Trump a partial win on a separate issue, temporarily blocking a lower court ruling that would have opened the way for potentially thousands of refugees to enter the country in the coming months. That portion of the Supreme Court order applies while the administration appeals on that issue to a federal appellate court in San Francisco.

The Supreme Court will hear arguments on the travel ban in October.

The case is Trump v. Hawaii, 16-1540.

To think, this is the legacy you want. You can't pass shit that will actually help people but you want to pass this. History will remember this.
 
Is this the travel ban from earlier this year about the six Muslim countries? Or are they actually going to deny refugees that come through UN programs and such?
 
Was the refugee ban tied into the travel ban, and are the refugees not covered because they have no connection to the US as defined by the SCOTUS parameters until its heard in the fall?

we were on borrowed time. President has a lot of authority when it comes to foreign powers/immigration.

Most refugees would have a hard time even reaching the US, but to outright ban them from seeking asylum ,because you bomb their fucking homes to pieces, is something else.

What will the definition of a 'refugee' become?

I’m confused on how this is different than the decision they made a few weeks ago and how it’s affected by Hawaii after
