Mark Sherman: Refugees and Resettlement Agency

mark sherman: U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson ordered the government to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States, according to Toronto Star. Watson also vastly expanded the family relations that refugees and visitors can use to get into the country. Andres Kudacki / AP By Mark Sherman The Associated Press Wed., July 19, 2017 WASHINGTON The Supreme Court says the Trump administration can strictly enforce its ban on refugees, but at the same time is leaving in place a weakened travel ban that includes grandparents among relatives who can help visitors from six mostly Muslim countries get into the U.S. The justices acted Wednesday on the administration's appeal of a federal judge's ruling last week. The high court blocked Watson's order as it applies to refugees for now, but not the expanded list of relatives. It's not clear how quickly that will happen. The justices said the federal appeals court in San Francisco should now consider the appeal. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
