A federal judge in Seattle on Tuesday blocked President Donald Trump’s executive order pausing the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, siding with arguments that the order likely exceeded the president's authority.
“The president has substantial discretion to suspend refugee admissions. But that authority is not limitless,” U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead said in his decision. "He cannot ignore Congress’ detailed framework for refugee admissions and the limits it places on the president’s ability to suspend the same."
Between the halt in admissions, staff layoffs at refugee agencies and the indefinite suspension of family reunification, Whitehead said there appeared to be an “effective nullification of congressional will.” Further, he said, the implementation of the order “likely violates bedrock principles of administrative law.”
He said an injunction was needed because “our system of separated powers demands no less.”
The Justice Department and the White House did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

One problem is that Biden appointed so many marsupials.
Good point.

True refugees deserve compassion. Fake refugees need to be returned to their home countries. The majority are fake.
All they need is one who doesn't, and Biden appointed many.
I hope you are right (again).
The SCOTUS has demonstrated that they will not do their part.
I think Roberts has a skeleton in his closet.
...yes... bad shopping.
there are a few who will refuse to report what they actually do on the court but ME...I’m more interested in know what John Roberts DID in his past. as in epstein island and who he did. fair question John.
And the fake refugees have exhausted our capacity to help.
Find out the town where the Judge lives and make sure he experiences what refugees look like when they destroy said town.
It’s not just one judge. Think Whack a Mole.
So Jamal thinks Congress has authority over who crosses the US borders…
How many regiments does the judge have?
This “judge” is so full of crap that his eyes are brown. He’s tied himself in so many knots trying subvert the law that you can no longer tell if he’s coming or going...
I doesn’t take any regiments to file another federal lawsuit.
It’s not just one kangaroo. And I can’t predict what Roberts, etc. will do.
Mr President.
The Supreme Court ruled many years ago the Health Insurance for Government Employee’s is a GIFT and not a right. It was in a bankruptcy case for a city in California. Isn’t it high time you Give these FEDERAL EMPLOYEE’S in the Judiciary the very BEST Health Care Amnerica has to offer?? YES, OBAMACARE, Abolish ALL Health Insurance benefits for Federal Employee’s in the Judiciary and Mandate all of them enroll in the Affordable Care Act at their OWN EXPENSE for their Primarty Health Care.
THEY CAN’t STOP YOU FROM DOING THIS.
I think Roberts is loving this. If the judiciary can force Trump to blink and/or acquiesce to one of those clearly unconstitutional orders, they will have further cemented their power as The Last Word.
Gee. It is as if you read the relevant law. And cited it. Or something.
How utterly foolish! How dare you do that!
(Now, what did this “impartial judge” decide to read? )
/sarchasm. That gaping whole between a liberal and the real world
Our Constitution CLEARLY states that the President can prevent whomever he wants, whenever he wants, wherever he wants, for as long as he wants, for any reason he wants.
Can we stop this judicial nonsense now...?
