The Supreme Court on Monday decided to let the third version of President Donald Trump's so-called travel ban to go into effect, for now.

In two separate but nearly identical orders, the high court stayed two district court injunctions issued within hours of each other in October that blocked the ban from going into effect. The Ninth and Fourth Circuits are expected to hear oral arguments on those injunctions from the district courts in Hawaii and Maryland, on Wednesday and Friday, respectively.

The Supreme Court's order stays the injunctions pending disposition of the appellate cases. If the government seeks a writ of certiorari after those courts make their decisions, and that writ is granted, the stay will remain in place until the court enters a judgement, the order said. Otherwise, the stay will terminate automatically if the court denies cert. Justices Ruth Bader Ginsburg and Sonia Sotomayor would have denied the government's request, the orders said.
