Security Robart: Security and Arguments Thursday

security robart: Government lawyers argued that the ban is needed to protect national security, according to CTV. Robart ordered the federal government to process certain refugee applications. U.S. District Judge James Robart heard arguments Thursday in lawsuits from the American Civil Liberties Union and Jewish Family Service, which say the ban causes irreparable harm and puts some people at risk. He said his order applies to people with a bona fide relationship to a person or entity within the United States. The day before his executive order, Secretary of State Rex Tillerson, Acting Homeland Security Secretary Elaine Duke and Director of National Intelligence Daniel Coats sent a memo to Trump saying certain refugees must be banned unless additional security measures are implemented. U.S. President Donald Trump restarted the refugee program in October with enhanced vetting capabilities. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
