The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) estimated the change could impact as many as 186,000 refugees.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">In a statement, USCIS spokesperson Zach Kahler called the lawsuit a \u201cfrivolous attempt to disrupt the Trump administration\u2019s commitment to enforce our country\u2019s immigration laws as intended by Congress.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">\u201cU.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services found an alarming erosion of screening and vetting measures under the Biden Administration in order to rush processing and maximize the number of refugees admitted to the United States. DHS is strengthening accountability and ensuring that refugee status is reserved only for those who were eligible under the law,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Refugee advocacy groups and four refugees from Afghanistan, Colombia, Ethiopia and Iraq filed a lawsuit in Massachusetts accusing the administration of unlawfully restricting refugees\u2019 ability to obtain green cards, while making it easier to revoke their legal status.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The lawsuit challenges three policies, including a broader effort to reexamine refugees admitted under former President Biden. The administration ordered immigration officials last November to re-vet those refugees and placed an indefinite hold on pending green card applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The plaintiffs argue that the policies have left refugees in \u201clegal limbo,\u201d preventing them from obtaining permanent residency while exposing them to the possibility of losing their refugee status without a meaningful opportunity to contest the decision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The administration has defended the shortened termination process as necessary to protect national security while preventing fraud and restoring integrity to the immigration system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Tuesday\u2019s order does not address the merits of the broader lawsuit or block the administration\u2019s refugee review and green card policies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The judge assigned to the case will determine whether to extend the pause on the termination rule at a later date.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A federal judge on Tuesday temporarily blocked a Trump administration rule that gives refugees just 10 days to challenge the termination of their legal status.
