A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order halting the admission of refugees into the United States.
The ruling from U.S. District Court Judge Jamal Whitehead, a Biden appointee, is the first to block Trump’s order indefinitely suspending the United States Refugee Admissions Program.
Whitehead said the president’s order likely “crossed the line.”
The order, one of many the president signed on his first day in office, describes the country as “inundated with record levels of migration” over the past four years, threatening resources for U.S. citizens.
The order says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should recommend within 90 days whether the refugee program should resume.
The move stranded thousands of refugees expecting to come to the country. Days later, the White House also suspended funding for resettlement agencies, leading to layoffs and furloughs.
Tuesday’s ruling comes days after a federal judge in Washington D.C. denied a request to temporarily block the refugee funding freeze in a separate case.

Disregard and keep on keeping on
Whitehead said the president’s order likely “crossed the line.”
What a formidable legal mind.
So Jamal be sayin...
Biden can order the “program” into existence
BUT
Trump may not order the “program” out of existence
Oh Yeah
Dat be makin sense
GhettoLogic
Arrest, try, convict and sentence U.S. District Court Judge Jamal Whitehead for giving aid and comfort to the domestic and foreign enemies of the United States.
Paraphrasing Andrew Jackson:
“The judge has made his order. Now let him enforce it.”
Emergency appeal, this judge has literally violated the separation of powers, the Executive alone manages the border and immigration.
Jamal can just piss off.
Yes
Whitehead said the president’s order (likely “crossed the line).”
And he’s a judge?.
Yup.
Jamal brings the word from inside the house.
I want to Trump to keep going and publicly dare them to stop him.
Trump needs to send the National Guard to fire all these DNC Feral RAT “judges”. They are anti-American stooges.
What will it take for the shooting to start?
Where’s a burp out of Mt. St. Helen’s, when you want one?
Just like the 1958 film (The Fly), where they are looking for a black fly with a white head.
In this case, Jamal is a blackhead pimple. /spit
It looks like the judge is insisting the program be stopped, but then:
“The order says Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem should recommend within 90 days whether the refugee program should resume.”
This implies that both the judge and one of Trump’s secretaries have more power than the president.
Also, does this mean that Noem can recommend the program be halted immediately?
And no, I didn’t read the article.

So, when did this Whitehead [aka "Shitehead"] get elected president?
Temporary. Immigration is decided by the Executive Branch, not the Judicial Branch.
Following consultations (discussions) with cabinet representatives and Congress, a determination is drafted for signature by the President. The Presidential Determination establishes the overall admissions levels and regional allocations of all refugees for the upcoming fiscal year...No refugees may be admitted in the new fiscal year until the Presidential Determination has been signed.
I don't see why the Prez can't go as slow as he wants to in this matter. The Supremes' majority shouldn't have trouble with this one.
Trump's immigration policy should be resumed within 90 seconds.
