Trump's team, meanwhile, will withdraw their request for an emergency stay of the lower court's order.first reported by PoliticoIf the Supreme Court agrees to hear the case in the current term, they would likely issue a ruling by June. If it does not, there's a possibility they would not issue a ruling until after the 2020 election.
