WASHINGTON (AP) — The Supreme Court has dismissed a case about President Donald Trump’s 120-day worldwide ban on refugees now that the ban has expired.
The Trump administration is planning to unveil new screening procedures soon.
The justices’ order on Tuesday wipes away a lower court ruling that found problems with the refugee ban and a temporary pause on visitors from six mostly Muslim countries. A new travel policy that applies to six countries with Muslim majorities already has been blocked by lower courts.
The matter could return to the high court. But for now, the justices have stepped away the controversy without ruling on the legality of the administration’s actions.
