Graphic: World Brief Now

The justices meet Friday to weigh 11 new relists, including the government's appeal over Trump's asylum-ban Proclamation 10888, which stays in effect for now, SCOTUSblog reported. SCOTUSblog also said several Trump fights may return to the Court: a White House committee hearing on firing Fed Governor Lisa Cook was moved to Dec. 14, and Trump's Aug. 6 birthright citizenship order has been blocked for a certified class by U.S. District Judge Deborah Boardman, with a new ACLU challenge before Judge Christopher Cooper.
