The Supreme Court has agreed to review President Donald Trump’s travel ban, allowing a watered-down version of the order to go into effect in the meantime.

The court ruled individuals from the six Muslim-majority countries affected with a bona fide relationship to the United States aren’t subject to the ban, which the court will review in October.

The court’s order released Monday said that a “close familial relationship is required” for individuals who wish to live with or visit a family member. When the relationship is with an entity like a university, it must be “formal, documented, and formed in the ordinary course, rather than for the purpose of evading” the executive order.

As an example, they said, students and lecturers would have a formal relationship, as would someone who accepted employment with an American company. But it would not apply to someone who “enters into a relationship simply to avoid” the executive order. For example, the order said, “a nonprofit group devoted to immigration issues may not contact foreign nationals from the designated countries, add them to client lists, and then secure their entry by claiming injury from their exclusion.”
