they mentioned that nobody without direct ties to U.S. residents would be allowed in, but that seems vague as to what constitutes a direct tie


Did you read the ruling? They did spell it out in detail, examples are

quote:

If U.S. citizens claim close relatives from one of the targeted countries, they will be able to do so.

If U.S. universities have accepted students from one of the targeted countries, the students will be able to enter the U.S. and start their studies.

If a U.S. business has given a job to a worker from one of the targeted countries, the worker will be able to do that job.

Thomas seems to think there is cause for concern:

quote:

Moreover, I fear that the Court’s remedy will prove unworkable. Today’s compromise will burden executive officials with the task of deciding—on peril of contempt— whether individuals from the six affected nations who wish to enter the United States have a sufficient connection to a person or entity in this country. See ante, at 11– 12. The compromise also will invite a flood of litigation until this case is finally resolved on the merits, as parties and courts struggle to determine what exactly constitutes a “bona fide relationship,” who precisely has a “credible claim” to that relationship, and whether the claimed relationship was formed “simply to avoid §2(c)” of Executive Order No. 13780, ante, at 11, 12. And litigation of the factual and legal issues that are likely to arise will presumably be directed to the two District Courts whose initial orders in these cases this Court has now— unanimously—found sufficiently questionable to be stayed as to the vast majority of the people potentially affected.
