The Supreme Court announced today that it plans to review the case over President Trump’s travel ban.
The announcement came today, on the final day of the court’s term. The court will take up the case in October.
Trump’s executive order, titled “Protecting the Nation from Foreign Terrorist Entry into the United States” was issued in March. It would ban for 90 days entry into the U.S. of people from six predominantly Muslim countries and suspend for 120 days acceptance into the U.S. of refugees from anywhere in the world.
Such an action requires five of the nine justices to agree to temporarily stay the lower-court injunctions so that the executive order can go into effect and four to vote to take up the case when the court convenes again in October.
