On September 24, 2017, the President issued Proclamation 9645. On October 17, 2017, in the same Maryland docket family, Judge Chuang granted in part and denied in part motions for a preliminary injunction against Section 2 of that proclamation.

The signed order, reproduced by the Brennan Center from the docket, enjoins enforcement of Section 2 on a nationwide basis except as to Sections 2(d) and 2(f) and except as to individuals lacking a credible claim of a bona fide relationship with a person or entity in the United States. The motion is denied as to the President himself and as to the remaining provisions. The court declined to stay its own ruling pending appeal.

On December 4, 2017, the Supreme Court stayed the Maryland and Hawaii injunctions pending appellate disposition (Trump v. IRAP, 138 S. Ct. 542). The merits end of that fight is the next post.
