The Hawaii case, out of the Ninth Circuit, also involved the refugee ban, which expired after 120 days. As such, it had to wait until now.
In both instances, Justice Sotomayor would have dismissed the cases as improvidently granted, leaving the lower court rulings in place.
This action today (or the previous action) is about the March 6 travel ban, not the president's September 24 travel proclamation.
There are multiple challenges to the proclamation (i.e., travel ban 3.0), and orders halting enforcement out of Maryland & Hawaii fed cts.
tl;dr: SCOTUS isn't hearing the cases over Trump's March travel ban. But we already knew that. This is, basically, clean up.
So we get to start all over again litigating version 3.0, which will hopefully be the last one.
