The Supreme Court is allowing the Trump administration to fully enforce a ban on travel to the United States by residents of six mostly Muslim countries.
The justices, with two dissenting votes, said Monday that the policy can take full effect even as legal challenges against it make their way through the courts. The action suggests the high court could uphold the latest version of the ban that Trump announced in September.
The ban applies to travelers from Chad, Iran, Libya, Somalia, Syria and Yemen. Lower courts had said people from those nations with a claim of a “bona fide” relationship with someone in the United States could not be kept out of the country. Grandparents, cousins and other relatives were among those courts said could not be excluded.
Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have left the lower court orders in place.
The San Francisco-based 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Richmond, Virginia, will be holding arguments on the legality of the ban this week.
Both courts are dealing with the issue on an accelerated basis, and the Supreme Court noted it expects those courts to reach decisions “with appropriate dispatch.”
Quick resolution by appellate courts would allow the Supreme Court to hear and decide the issue this term, by the end of June.

Supreme Court allows? Why not Court recognizes Presidential Authority?
“Huh? The USSC is going to leave it up to them? “
No, I just think that the SCOTUS has their “Circuit Court Pee Pee Slapper” at the ready waiting to see what these Circuit Courts do.
Several of the media outlets used the headline “Two Supreme Court Justices File Dissenting Opinions...”
Honest it almost made me literally laugh out loud!
Winning! MAGA!
The way I see the decision, Ginsburg wants more Moslems to come to the US and Sotomayor wants more Hispanics to come here.
They could start their own insane asylum, these two fools.
Just counting down the days before Ginsburg croaks (she already looks like she’s dead and stuffed but I want the real thing, not a cheap imitation).
Sotomayor is a “racist”. Not because she’s a “proud Latina”, but because she is for “La Raza”, “the Race”. Sounds might Aryan to me, senorita.
#21, Sotomayor is on the ICE pickup list, a little birdy told me.
Ginsburg is on the mortuary’s pickup list. However, they are holding off for a few more weeks because she’s been picked to star in the latest version of “Night of the Living Day” and a special guest appearance on Season 9 of “The Walking Dead” next year (filming has already started so she’s got to be filmed quickly before she becomes a real part of the zombie jamboree).
Winning beats wailing.
Praying Trump seats a lot of judges and 2-3 more on SCOTUS....
“Now start massive deportations!”
ICE has been cranking up the deportations:
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement agents, who are responsible for capturing and deporting illegal immigrants, made 110,568 arrests — a 40 percent increase from the previous year
