This only allows the travel ban to go into force while the arguments move through the lower courts. Basically, no injunction for now. What I don’t understand is what happens when one of the liberal lower court finishes its case and rules against the Trump administration. Is the travel ban then stopped until an appeal to a higher court reverses the lower court? So is this still an emotional yo-yo until the set of completed cases reach the Supreme Court, hopefully in time to be ruled on in June.

I'm no lawyer but maybe we have one reading this thread who could comment on your very reasonable query.

My bet is that the Trump Administration would request an immediate Stay of the lower court order pending a full review by the Supreme Court. And given the clear view of the court on this matter, I would anticipate that the Stay would be granted.

But, then again, I'm not a lawyer.

That’s already addressed. This “hold on the hold” continues until a final disposition on the case, including any Supreme Court appeal.
