The U.S. Supreme Court handed a victory to Donald Trump by allowing his latest travel ban targeting people from six Muslim-majority countries to go into full effect.

A three-judge panel of the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals partially granted a Trump administration request to block at least temporarily a judge's ruling that had put the new ban on hold.

Hawaii had objected to the Trump administration's omission of grandparents, aunts and uncles from its list of people meeting the definition of a close relationship.
