The Supreme Court revived President Trump’s extreme vetting travel ban Monday, ruling that most of it can go into effect — and along the way delivering an implicit rebuke to the army of lower-court judges who’d blasted the president as anti-Muslim.

The unanimous decision said Mr. Trump can impose a 90-day pause on most admissions from six terrorist-connected countries, and a 120-day halt in all refugees admissions. The only exceptions are citizens of those countries who already have ties to the U.S., such as relatives living here, or participation in a student program.

“When it comes to refugees who lack any such connection to the United States, for the reasons we have set out, the balance tips in favor of the Government’s compelling need to provide for the Nation’s security,” the justices said in the unsigned opinion.
