Year Order: Judge and Pence Order

year order: The ruling by a three-judge panel for the 7th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals in Chicago affirmed a preliminary injunction that a federal judge in Indianapolis issued in February, according to Hamilton Spectator. That judge found last year order by the Republican governor, now Donald Trump running mate, "clearly discriminates" against refugees from the war-torn nation. Mike Pence fears that Syrian refugees could commit acts of terror, siding with a judge who blocked Pence order seeking to prevent agencies from helping resettle the immigrants in the state. Pence was among dozens of governors from mostly GOP states who attempted to block Syrian refugees following the terror attacks last November in Paris, saying there were questions about the federal government refugee-screening process. Pence order sought to bar state agencies from providing federal funds for groups, including Indianapolis-based Exodus Refugee Immigration, which help Syrian refugees with housing, medical and social services and job training. The suspects in those attacks were primarily from France and Belgium; GOP leaders, including Pence, noted that a Syrian passport, now believed to be fake, was found near one of the suicide bombers.
