A federal judge in Maryland has blocked President Donald Trump’s recent executive order allowing state and local officials to refuse refugee resettlement.
The preliminary injunction is part of HIAS v. Trump, a lawsuit by three faith-based organizations over the order.
“Today the sun is shining on refugee families and the communities who for decades have devoted their time and resources to welcome them,” John L. McCullough, president and CEO of Church World Service, said in a written statement.
