Trump takes another L in court over asylum seekers

“Just as we may not, as we are often reminded, ‘legislate from the bench,’ neither may the Executive legislate from the Oval Office."

— Judge Jay Bybee, 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals
At issue was Trump’s Nov. 9 move to bar anyone who crossed the U.S.-Mexico border between official ports of entry from seeking asylum. Trump issued the proclamation as migrant caravans traveled closer to the U.S. through Mexico.

But a lower court judge temporarily blocked the ban and later refused to reinstate it. The administration appealed to the 9th Circuit for a stay of Judge Jon Tigar's Nov. 19 order.

Judge orders deported asylum seekers to be returned to US, in Trump administration rebuke

A federal judge on Wednesday took the extraordinary step of ordering that asylum seekers who sued after their deportation be returned to the U.S. to have their claims heard anew, ruling against the Trump administration's revised asylum policies.

The ruling from U.S. District Judge Emmet Sullivan in Washington came a day after the same judge presided over a contentious sentencing hearing for former national security adviser Michael Flynn -- in which he questioned whether the ex-White House official committed “treason” and accused him of selling out the United States to foreign interests. He later delayed Flynn’s sentencing until 2019, as part of Special Counsel Robert Mueller’s Russia investigation.

Questions loom over future of refugee programs after federal judge blocks Trump order

SAINT PAUL, Minn. – Staff inside the International Institute of Minnesota said a judge’s recent decision to prevent local jurisdictions from shutting its doors to refugees is just a temporary sigh of relief.

The judge’s ruling comes amid lawsuits filed by refugee resettlement advocacy groups in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order last year requiring states to provide written consent from local officials before moving forward with refugee resettlement in their areas.

“It adds more confusion around the program and a little bit of uncertainty now about what the next steps are for us,” said Micaela Schuneman, director of refugee services for the International Institute of Minnesota.

The institute is one of only five agencies in the state of Minnesota that works to resettle refugees in the state’s 87 counties.
