United States 9th Circuit Court of Appeals rules President Donald Trump may suspend refugee admissions
Change
The United States 9th Circuit Court of Appeals ruled that President Donald Trump may indefinitely suspend admissions under the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program and largely overturned a district-court injunction that had blocked the halt.
Why it matters
More than 100,000 vetted and conditionally approved refugees may now be prevented from entering the United States or from having their cases processed, leaving them stranded in third countries. Separate injunctions remain in place to prevent the termination of services and cooperative agreements for refugees who have already been admitted, preserving their access to resettlement support.
Implications
- • U.S. Refugee Admissions Program administrators must halt new refugee admissions and suspend onward travel arrangements for conditionally approved refugees until courts or the administration authorize resumption.
- • Resettlement support centers must continue delivering services to refugees already admitted because injunctions blocking termination of those services remain in effect.
