The Supreme Court on Wednesday allowed the Trump administration to enforce its refu­gee ban for now, but said it must allow broader exemptions to the president’s travel ban for family members, including grandparents.

The justices in a short order refused the administration’s request that it stay a lower court’s decision that said the Trump administration had too severely interpreted the court’s decision last month about exempting those with close family relationships.

The justices on Wednesday said the government’s appeal of the lower court should go through normal channels, with the next stop at the U.S. Court of Appeals for the 9th Circuit.

The justices did stay a part of the lower court’s ruling, and said that it could enforce a refu­gee ban for now.

The court’s decision was the latest action in the Trump administration’s nearly six-month efforts to temporarily shut down the nation’s refu­gee program and bar visitors from several Muslim-majority countries while it examines vetting procedures.

What are the protocols for Trump to assert CINC Authority for the security of the country and close all immigration until a new vetting system can be created?

I mean if FDR can intern all Japanese Americans out of a declaration of national security - surely Trump can close immigration over the security threats posed by Islam.
Fart for freedom, fart for liberty and fart proudly.  - Benjamin Franklin

...Obsta principiis—Nip the shoots of arbitrary power in the bud, is the only maxim which can ever preserve the liberties of any people. When the people give way, their deceivers, betrayers and destroyers press upon them so fast that there is no resisting afterwards. The nature of the encroachment upon [the] American constitution is such, as to grow every day more and more encroaching. Like a cancer, it eats faster and faster every hour." - John Adams, February 6, 1775
