The US Supreme Court imposed a temporary ban on the reception of refugees in the country until the ruling of the appeals court.

The Supreme Court granted the Trump administration’s request to suspend the admission of refugees as part of its immigration decree, which prohibits citizens of six countries with a predominantly Muslim population from entering the country.

However, the victory of the administration was incomplete and temporary.

The judges also upheld a lower court ruling, which expanded the list of types of “bona fide” kinship relations to include grandparents. Citizens of Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen will be able to enter the United States if they are able to prove that they have honest relations in the United States.

In addition, a judge from the state of Hawaii Derrick Watson ruled that refugees can be admitted to the country if they have a guarantee of resettlement from the relevant organizations.

The Supreme Court suspended this ruling only until it was considered by the appeals court of the Ninth Circuit in San Francisco.

The US State Department has allowed voluntary organizations that are involved in refugees to resume work on the organization of transportation.

Recall that in late January, Donald Trump signed the first decree, which introduced a ban on entry to citizens of seven countries, which entered into force immediately. The most controversial provision of the first decree was that the holders of green cards from the Muslim countries appearing in the decree were also banned, although the presence of a green card actually means permission to permanently reside in the USA.

After that, the Federal District Court in New York imposed a temporary ban on the expulsion of migrants with valid US visas from US airports. 4 February, the Federal Court in Seattle (Washington) completely suspended the decree of Donald Trump, and a week later the Court of Appeal in San Francisco left the lower court decision in force.

On March 6, Trump signed a new order. Iraq was excluded from the seven countries because the government there had tightened vetting of visa applicants and increased data sharing, a White House official said. Under the new order, refugees cleared by the State Department to enter the country would be able to do so. The new order, blocked by the court, also did not include an indefinite entry ban on all Syrian refugees. Green card holders (the right to permanent residence in the United States) from countries listed on the list were not subject to this decree.
