A Ninth Circuit appeals court ruled that the Trump administration must allow thousands of individuals granted refugee status before January 20 to enter the U.S. This decision is seen as a partial victory for refugee advocacy groups, ensuring continued admissions despite the administration's stance on immigration. However, the court declined to address funding issues for nonprofit groups aiding resettlement, leaving this crucial support in uncertainty. The ruling also partially reversed an earlier decision by a Biden-nominated judge regarding the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program.
"The Ninth Circuit's ruling insures that U.S. refugee admission remains open in part, but it was a rare victory as well for the Trump administration in its efforts to clamp down on immigration."
"Melissa Keaney, an attorney for the International Refugee Assistance Project, framed the decision as a victory, stating that tens of thousands of people overseas would be processed and admitted as refugees."
