Order says court’s move is temporary

The U.S. Supreme Court rejected on Wednesday a bid by President Donald Trump to block a judge’s ruling that prevented his travel ban on people from six Muslim-majority countries from being applied to grandparents of U.S. citizens.

But in a partial win for Mr. Trump, the court put on hold part of the judge’s ruling that would allow more people to enter the United States under a separate ban on refugees if it went into effect.

The brief order said the court’s decision is temporary while the San Francisco-based 9th United States Circuit Court of Appeals considers a separate appeal on the same issue.

Three of the conservatives on the court of nine justices noted that they would have granted Mr. Trump’s request in full.
