US EditionJudge orders Trump administration to admit roughly 12,000 refugees
- U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead ordered the Trump administration on Monday to admit about 12,000 refugees into the United States, partially blocking the president's suspension of the refugee program.
- The order followed a hearing last week addressing how to interpret a Ninth Circuit Court ruling which narrowed Whitehead's earlier decision and required processing refugees approved before January 20, 2021.
- Established by Congress in 1980, the refugee program offers a legal pathway to the U.S. For individuals forced to flee due to conflicts, environmental catastrophes, or threats of persecution, undergoing a thorough vetting process that can span several years.
- The Justice Department argued only 160 refugees scheduled to travel within two weeks of Trump's executive order should be processed, but Judge Whitehead rejected this narrow reading as unsupported by the court's ruling.
- Whitehead ordered the administration to resume processing all refugee cases within seven days, including embassies, emphasizing refugees' pending medical and security clearances and rejecting the government's attempt to rewrite the orders.
