Supreme Court removes travel ban arguments from October calendar
The Supreme Court has removed the travel ban case from its October calendar, as it considers whether the case is now moot, CBS News Chief Legal Correspondent Jan Crawford reports. Once it has reviewed the supplemental briefing, it could reschedule arguments or simply dismiss the original case.
Briefs from both sides are due on Oct. 5.

The U.S. is implementing travel limitations and restrictions unique to the foreign nationals of each country.
DHS found Iraq also did not to meet its baseline but concluded that entry restrictions and limitations under a the proclamation are not warranted.
