The 1st Circuit’s decision came after another appeals court, the San Francisco-based 9th U.S. The administration last week asked the U.S. Supreme Court to hear its appeal in that case and a related one.

The Supreme Court’s ruling opened the door to Trump’s order taking effect in parts of the country.
