The Supreme Court tossed one challenge to President Trump’s travel ban late Tuesday.

The court said the case the International Refugee Assistance Project brought against the ban is now moot since Trump’s order banning nationals from six majority-Muslim countries expired on Sept. 24.

The court said it originally agreed to hear the case to resolve a challenge to “the temporary suspension of nationals from Iran, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen 

“Because that provision of the order ‘expired by its own terms’ on September 24, 2017, the appeal no longer presents a ‘live case or controversy,’” the court said.

1. Wait... so there is no longer any Muslim ban? nt

4. No. But, one of the two challenges has expired

So, they will not review it

5. The ban being challenged expired. But there's still a ban

The latest travel ban is structured differently to try and avoid the same legal opposition that got previous bans shot down. There's a couple more countries that are non-muslim (like NK), and a set of "standards" was formed to make the ban seem more rational than targeting Muslims.

That one expires around the end of the month.
