Vetting Capabilities: Refugee Program

vetting capabilities: Robart ordered the federal government to process certain refugee applications, according to Metro News. He said his order applies to people with a bona fide relationship to a person or entity within the United States. Government lawyers argued that the ban is needed to protect national security. President Donald Trump restarted the refugee program in October with enhanced vetting capabilities. It applies to the spouses and minor children of refugees who have already settled in the U.S. and suspends the refugee program for people coming from 11 countries, nine of which are mostly Muslim. 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.
