A Washington federal judge has denied the Trump administration's request to halt discovery in a lawsuit challenging its suspension of refugee admissions and resettlement funding ahead of a forthcoming Ninth Circuit ruling on court orders that temporarily blocked its actions.
The Ninth Circuit ordered the federal government to reinstate cooperative agreements with refugee resettlement agencies on Friday, saying President Donald Trump likely acted lawfully when suspending U.S. refugee admissions in January, but his administration must still provide legally mandated services to those who have already arrived.
Two Ninth Circuit judges suggested on Wednesday that President Donald Trump had the authority to suspend U.S. refugee admissions in a January executive order, while also hinting that his administration went too far by pulling funding for resettlement support.
A Washington federal judge said Wednesday that a challenge to the Trump administration's halt on refugee admissions may move forward as a class action on behalf of individuals seeking entry into the country and others impacted by the suspension, while also spurning the federal government's dismissal bid.
A Washington federal judge established a framework for determining which refugees should be admitted to the country, despite President Donald Trump's executive order dismantling the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
A Washington federal judge signaled Monday that he's not inclined to disturb an injunction requiring the government to admit a small class of refugees, despite President Donald Trump's travel ban and recent U.S. Supreme Court precedent curtailing the availability of nationwide injunctions.
Attorneys general from 20 states, as well as former federal immigration officials, have chimed in to support reinstatement of U.S. refugee admissions amid a pending legal challenge to President Donald Trump's indefinite suspension of the program, according to briefs recently filed with the Ninth Circuit.
A Washington federal judge on Thursday walked back an order instructing the Trump administration to admit thousands of refugees, saying the Ninth Circuit has further clarified its ruling allowing the federal government to largely proceed with the president's suspension of the refugee program pending a legal challenge.
A Washington federal judge has ordered the Trump administration to take immediate steps to facilitate travel and admissions for about 12,000 refugees blocked by the president's ban, saying the government was not free to disobey statutory and constitutional law and federal court orders.
A Washington federal judge expressed frustration with the federal government Thursday for moving "with one hand behind its back" to resume processing of certain refugees after the Ninth Circuit clarified the scope of a partial block on the Trump administration's refugee program shutdown.
