I believe the Trump administration made a big mistake by its strict definition of family members allowed to visit the U.S. from the six Muslim-majority countries.   It knew or should have known opponents would pounce on a narrow definition and, therefore, should have expanded it a bit to deflect challenges and have a better chance of overcoming inevitable appeals in court.  Moreover, the relatives to be allowed in were not coming as permanent residents; they were coming as visitors for no longer than 6 months with a B1/B2 tourist visas.  Why fall on your sword over that?  Those coming to visit still had to be vetted by consular officials issuing tourist visas.  It would have been easy for the State Department to quietly tighten or enhance the vetting process in the six countries to make it a bit more difficult for people to obtain visas, thus minimizing the number of people coming and make it a non-issue.
