‘A coalition of U.S. refugee backers filed a lawsuit on Monday that challenges President Donald Trump's indefinite suspension of the U.S. resettlement program, saying refugees and their families face irreparable harm if it is allowed to remain in effect.
The legal challenge, filed in U.S. District Court in Washington State, argues that Trump exceeded his executive authority by abruptly shutting down the program and freezing funding to aid refugees already in the United States. The lawsuit cites the possibility of serious harm to refugees and calls on the court to "restore the important and historic American tradition of protecting and aiding people fleeing persecution."
[…]
The sudden shutdown meant refugees across the globe had their scheduled travel to the U.S. canceled, including 1,660 Afghans cleared to resettle. Days later, funds for U.S. groups that assist refugees already in the country were frozen as part of a larger pause on foreign aid.’
This is further proof of how hateful, reprehensible, and wrong Trump is – that Trump is in fact unfit to be president.
These are refugees who have done everything required to enter the country lawfully, there’s no legitimate reason to ‘pause’ entering the country.
