       Supreme Court Takes Up Travel Ban Case, and Allows Parts to Go
       Ahead
       "WASHINGTON — The Supreme Court cleared the way on Monday for
       President Trump to prohibit the entry of some people into the
       United States from countries he deems dangerous, but the
       justices imposed strict limits on Mr. Trump’s travel ban while
       they examine the scope of presidential power over the border.
       Mr. Trump quickly hailed the court’s decision to hear arguments
       on the travel ban in October, saying — in a formal White House
       statement, not a tweet — that the justices’ temporary lifting of
       some of the legal roadblocks to his ban was a “clear victory”
       for national security.
       “As president, I cannot allow people into our country who want
       to do us harm,” Mr. Trump wrote, calling his efforts to limit
       entry into the country a “suspension” instead of a ban. “I want
       people who can love the United States and all of its citizens,
       and who will be hardworking and productive.”
       He later tweeted: “Very grateful for the 9-O decision from the
       U. S. Supreme Court. We must keep America SAFE!”

       White House Moves to Carry Out Partial Travel Ban
       "WASHINGTON — The Trump administration on Thursday moved once
       again to fulfill one of the president’s most contentious
       campaign promises, banning entry into the United States by
       refugees from around the world and prohibiting most visitors
       from six predominantly Muslim countries the president deems
       dangerous.
       Freed by the Supreme Court to partially revive Mr. Trump’s
       travel ban, administration officials said the American border
       would remain shut to those groups unless individuals can prove
       they have close family members living in the United States, or
       are coming to attend a university or accept a job offer.
       Officials said those exceptions would be defined narrowly. In a
       lengthy cable sent to embassies and consulates around the world,
       officials said that extended family connections would not be
       sufficient to evade the president’s ban on entry. Parents,
       including in-laws, are considered “close family,” but
       grandparents are not. Stepsiblings and half-siblings will be
       allowed, but not nieces or nephews.".
