A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked President Donald Trump’s effort to suspend the U.S. refugee program. The ruling came in a challenge filed by several refugee resettlement organizations whose lawsuit earlier this month argued that Trump's indefinite suspension of the U.S. refugee program was unlawful and causing irreparable harm.

The executive order, “Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program,” was one of dozens Trump signed shortly after taking office in January. Under the executive order, refugee admissions have come to a halt, leaving some refugees in the middle of the process stranded and organizations that help resettle refugees without funding.
