HONOLULU — A federal judge in Hawaii is leaving Trump administration rules in place for a travel ban on citizens from six predominantly Muslim countries.

Judge Derrick K. Watson, of Federal District Court in Honolulu, on Thursday denied an emergency motion filed by Hawaii asking him to clarify what the United States Supreme Court meant by a “bona fide” relationship in its ruling last month.

In that ruling, the Supreme Court said the administration could mostly enforce its travel ban, but said those “with a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States” could enter.

Judge Watson said the relationship question would be better posed to the Supreme Court than to him.

Hawaii’s attorney general, Doug Chin, objected to the administration’s omission of grandparents, aunts and uncles from the administration’s list of people meeting the definition of a close relationship.
