1. Supreme Court agrees to block refugees

2. The U. S. Supreme Court, which is located in Washington D. C
The U. S. Supreme Court, which is located in Washington D.C., granted a request from the Trump administration Monday and temporarily blocked a lower court order that would have allowed more refugees to enter this country from six majority-Muslim nations (Syria, Sudan, Iran, Somalia, Libya and Yemen). The government asked for a "temporary administrative stay" (that means a temporary halt to the court order) to give the justices time to consider the issue. In other words, the refugee ban will be allowed while the Supreme Courts discusses the situation. The Supreme Court, which is headed by chief justice John Roberts, is scheduled to hear arguments Oct. 10 on the legality of Trump's travel ban. Previously, in late June, the justices handed down a short, middle-ground ruling that said the travel ban may take effect, but not against those who have a "close" family tie to someone in this country or against refugees who "claim a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.” Since then, those opposed to the ban, and the Trump administration have continued to fight over who is covered by those standards. For example, is a close family relationship just parents and spouse or should it also be other family members such as grandparents, in-laws and cousins?
