No, the first sentence of the order (dismissing the Federal government request to “clarify”) was regarding the “close family” definition which the State Dept defined and then the Hawaii Judge overturned.

You are correct, and I was wrong. The Supreme Court stayed the part of Hawaii’s ruling that allowed those with a ‘contractural relationship’ (such as churches willing to take in refugees) but left in place the modification to the government’s definition of ‘close relationship.’

Mea culpa.
