Judge lifts part of refugee ban in Seattle case
A Seattle federal judge partially lifts the Trump administration refugee ban, restoring processing for refugees with bona fide U.S. ties. The ruling favors ACLU and Jewish Family Service arguments that the policy harms families seeking reunion and national security warrants. The decision applies to 11 countries and preserves thorough vetting while the government considers next steps.
