The Supreme Court today gave President Trump another major win by granting his administration’s request to fully reinstate the third version of his travel ban.

The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals and a Federal District Court in Maryland had said the President could only block nationals from the designated eight countries if they lacked a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States.

The high court’s decision now puts those rulings on hold.

Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Justice Sonia Sotomayor said they would have denied the government’s request.
