With a third version of the Muslim ban set to go into effect on October 18, President Donald Trump’s administration has asked the Supreme Court to vacate lower court rulings on previous versions of the ban.

Still, while they linger in detention, they face abuse, pressure and intimidation to give up legally challenging their deportation, according to the ACLU.
