Surprising nobody.
Even before the Supreme Court ruling, you can't legally challenge official US policy.
This was always going to be DOA. US courts can't provide the relief they sought.
courts cannot review the executive branch’s decisions on foreign policy
Then who can? And if nobody can, what's the point of having laws for it?
Congress can.

Congress also plays an oversight role. The annual appropriations process allows congressional committees to review in detail the budgets and programs of the vast military and diplomatic bureaucracies. Lawmakers must sign off on more than a trillion dollars in federal spending every year, of which more than half is allocated to defense and international affairs. Lawmakers may also stipulate how that money is to be spent. For instance, Congress repeatedly barred the Obama administration from using funds to transfer detainees out of the military prison at Guantanamo Bay.
Yeah that makes sense.
