A district court judge, appointed by former President Joe Biden, is requiring President Donald Trump to bring roughly 12,000 refugees to the United States in a new court order issued this week.
Judge Jamal Whitehead, appointed to the U.S. District Court for the Western District of Washington in 2023 by Biden, says Trump must admit thousands of refugees who had been approved for resettlement in the U.S. before he signed an executive order to halt the refugee resettlement program.
“This Court will not entertain the Government’s result-oriented rewriting of a judicial order that clearly says what it says,” Whitehead writes:
The Government is free, of course, to seek further clarification from the Ninth Circuit. But the Government is not free to disobey statutory and constitutional law—and the direct orders of this Court and the Ninth Circuit—while it seeks such clarification. The Government’s obligation to process, admit, and provide statutorily mandated resettlement support services to the Injunction-Protected Refugees is immediate. Likewise, the Government’s obligation to restore funding, information, and operational support to its USRAP partners as necessary to process, admit, and provide resettlement services to these individuals is also immediate.After taking office, Trump signed the executive order to suspend the refugee resettlement program. As expected, those contractors whose funding relies on resettling refugees in American communities sued the Trump administration to restore the program.
In February, Whitehead blocked Trump from carrying out the executive order to suspend the refugee program, even as he admitted the president holds broad authority over immigration.
“The president has substantial discretion to suspend refugee admissions. But that authority is not limitless,” Whitehead wrote.

Another "Jamal." That sure is a trouble-causing name.
Put them in Seattle and Portland.
This is what happens when you don’t arrest traitors.
I don’t care how much it costs the taxpayer-settle them all in and around the judges neighborhood.
Ignore him
Arrest Him
Not in his jurisdiction. So how is that going to work?
Federal judge orders little boy to have sex with HIM!
Where does the judge live. Resettle them there.
Who would ever guessed that Jamal is black!
Fine. Put them on his property.
dump them in his neighborhood
The stooge can shove it sideways up his posterior.
Out of curiosity I just looked it up. There are over 800 federal judges. And evidently any one of them can stop a duly-elected president from performing his duties.
This nonsense has got to stop.
The Congress is controlled by Republicans. And the majority of the Supreme Court justices were appointed by Republicans. Is it too much to ask them to intervene?
I guess it is.
That would be great if it happened.
Judges have more power than the President of the United States.
Who knew?
Build a federal shelter in the judges district.
12,000 illegals (or “humanitarian parolees “) claiming asylum eligible for all .gov benefits. Consider just SSI. Biden offered them max limit on SSI or $2100/month. My math indicates that totals $25,200,000 per month or $302,400,000/yr. The “progressive” voters that allow this should be virtuously sacrifice for the common good, of course. They went on more you suffer, the more it shows you really care.
Put the worst 1000 in Washington.
