The Supreme Court agreed with the Trump administration Sept. 12 “and put on hold a lower-court decision that would have allowed more refugees to enter the country” (the Washington Post).
The court issued a one-paragraph statement “granting the administration’s request for a stay of the latest legal maneuvering involving the president’s executive order on immigration. There were no recorded dissents to the decision,” the Post reported.
Meanwhile, Department of Homeland Security officials “plan soon to submit to the White House a report that is likely to shape the future of President Trump’s entry ban, a key portion of which is set to expire Sept. 24, authorities said,” the newspaper reported Sept. 13.
