NEW YORK — The Supreme Court today removed from its calendar arguments set for October 10 over President Trump’s Muslim ban. The action stems from the announcement of a new version of the ban last night.



The American Civil Liberties Union and partner organizations brought one of the two cases challenging the Muslim ban that had been set for argument on October 10.



Omar Jadwat, director of the ACLU’s Immigrants’ Rights Project, had this reaction:

"This action by the Supreme Court is not surprising given the government’s decision to issue a new version of the ban at the eleventh hour. Both sides will address the implications of that new ban order for the existing case in written submissions to the court. The ban has been repeatedly held unconstitutional and illegal by the courts and those decisions remain in place today.”



The challenge to Trump’s current Muslim ban was brought by the ACLU, ACLU of Maryland, and the National Immigration Law Center on behalf of HIAS, the International Refugee Assistance Project, and the Middle East Studies Association, along with individuals affected by the ban.
