A federal judge on Monday, May 5 ordered the Trump administration to admit approximately 12,000 refugees into the United States, delivering a legal setback to its broader efforts to reshape American immigration policy.
The ruling clarifies a previous appeals court decision that allowed the administration to temporarily suspend the refugee admissions program, but required that individuals already granted refugee status and approved for travel to the U.S. be admitted.
