On Monday, the judge ordered the Trump administration to allow the entry of around 12,000 refugees into the United States. This represents a blow to the Trump administration's efforts to tighten immigration policies in the country.
According to the court's decision, the Trump administration must restore the refugee admissions program, adhering to all standards and procedures that had been in place before the program was suspended in March of this year due to a lack of its own procedural rules.
"The court acknowledged that the Trump administration violated its obligations regarding the refugee admissions program established by Congress," stated a representative of the organization that defended the rights of refugees.
According to the ruling, the Trump administration must begin processing requests for entry and considering cases of refugees located in different countries, including Syria, Iran, and Somalia.
This court decision was made in the context of a dispute between the Trump administration and human rights organizations, including judges and other parties opposing restrictions on refugee admissions established by Trump.
