The Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals ruled Friday that part of President Trump’s third attempt at a travel ban should be blocked.
The ruling, however, will not take effect pending review by the U.S. Supreme Court.
The White House’s third attempt at the travel ban targeted foreigners from six Muslim-majority countries, Venezuela, and North Korea.
Rather than take apart the entire ban, however, three members of the 9th Circuit ruled that only the prohibitions on “foreign nationals who have a bona fide relationship” within the United States should be stopped.
The dispute will not return to the Supreme Court until after a ruling from the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 4th Circuit in Richmond, Va.
