US judge blocks Trump's indefinite suspension of refugee resettlement program

A federal judge in Seattle blocked President Donald Trump's executive order pausing the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, stating that the order likely exceeded the president's authority.
U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead emphasized that Trump's actions amounted to an effective nullification of congressional will regarding refugee admissions.
Plaintiff attorney Deepa Alagesan argued that immediate relief was necessary due to proven irreparable harms to refugees caused by the suspension.
The ruling means that the refugee admissions program will continue, as Trump's order was stated to violate immigration laws and severely harm those affected.
