The United States Supreme Court has ruled that the Trump administration's travel ban will be allowed to stay in place while legal challenges occur.
The order was made on Wednesday, and stayed a portion of a ruling from a district court "with respect to refugees covered by a formal assurance," the Washington Examiner reports.
The court also ruled 6-3 that those with grandparents, cousins, and other relatives in the U.S. would be able to enter, which was previously banned, Bloomberg noted.
The high court will begin hearing arguments on the travel ban come October.
The Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals initially ruled against President Donald Trump's executive order to ban travel to the U.S. from six Muslim majority countries over terrorism concerns. The Trump administration rewrote the ban, and it has been challenged by the attorneys general of several states and Washington, D.C.
The Trump administration has said that the ban is a matter of national security, while critics have called it "racist" and "Islamophobic."
