San Francisco: Refugees and Resettlement Agency

san francisco: Watson also vastly expanded the family relations that refugees and visitors can use to get into the country, according to CTV. The high court blocked Watson's order as it applies to refugees for now, but not the expanded list of relatives. U.S. District Judge Derrick Watson ordered the government to allow in refugees formally working with a resettlement agency in the United States. The justices said the federal appeals court in San Francisco should now consider the appeal. In the meantime, though, up to 24,000 refugees who already have been assigned to a charity or religious organization in the U.S. will not be able to use that connection to get into the country. It's not clear how quickly that will happen. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
