The response is due\u00a0on Tuesday, reports The Hill magazine.<\/p>\n<p>In its ruling, the 9th Circuit also blocked the government from banning grandparents, aunts, uncles and other extended family members of a person in the US from entering the country.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court\u2019s decision came less than two hours after Acting Solicitor General Jeffrey Wall filed a request for a stay.<\/p>\n<p>Wall said in his request to the court that that part of the ruling was \u201cless stark\u201d than the nullification of the order\u2019s refugee provision.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cUnlike students who have been admitted to study at an American university, workers who have accepted jobs at an American company, and lecturers who come to speak to an American audience, refugees do not have any freestanding connection to resettlement agencies, separate and apart from the refugee-admissions process itself, by virtue of the agencies\u2019 assurance agreement with the government.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNor can the exclusion of an assured refugee plausibly be thought to \u2018burden\u2019 a resettlement agency in the relevant sense,\u201d he wrote.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court was forced to act fast, given that the 9th Circuit\u2019s decision was set to take effect at\u00a011.30 a.m.\u00a0on Tuesday.<\/p>\n<p>The Supreme Court handed Trump a partial win in June when it allowed the administration to temporarily block people from six predominantly Muslim countries from entering the US. But the court carved out an exemption for people with a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the country.<\/p>\n<p>The federal district court judge in Hawaii who blocked Trump\u2019s order in March further weakened it in July by including grandparents, grandchildren, brothers-in-law, sisters-in-law, aunts, uncles, nieces, nephews and cousins of people in the US and refugees working with resettlement agencies in the definition of what constitutes a bona fide relationship.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/topic\/donald-trump\">Donald Trump<\/a> administration\u2019s travel ban blocks travellers from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen from entering the <a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/topic\/us\">US<\/a> for 90 days.<\/p>\n<p>The <a href=\"https:\/\/apnlive.com\/topic\/supreme-court\">Supreme Court<\/a> will hear arguments in two cases that have been consolidated challenging the ban on\u00a0October 10.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: right\"><strong>\u00a0-With Agencies<\/strong><\/p>\n<p>[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>[vc_row][vc_column][vc_column_text]Supreme Court ruling blocks part of an earlier ruling that barred US government from prohibiting refugees with formal assurances from entering Washington Washington: The US Supreme Court has granted a request from the Donald Trump administration and temporarily blocked a ruling that placed restrictions on the Presidents travel ban, the media reported.
