The US Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit Court in California allowed President Donald Trump’s executive order blocking the processing of refugee applications to take effect on Tuesday. However, the order states that processing individuals conditionally approved for refugee status before the executive order was issued must continue.
The executive order effectively suspends the entry of refugees under the United States Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). The order cites “record levels of migration” behind the suspension.
Under section three of the executive order, decisions on applications for refugee status are suspended for 90 days until the Secretary of Homeland Security can provide a report to President Trump on whether the admittance of refugees is in the US’ interest. Under section four, President Trump will decide whether the US will resume processing refugee applications once he reviews this report.
The plaintiffs, refugees who have “suffered harm as a result” of the executive order, brought a claim against the executive order in early February. The defendants are President Trump and other government officials. The plaintiffs argued that once the executive order was signed, agencies began to follow its terms and “canceled scheduled travel for refugees.” One of the plaintiffs, Pacito, was scheduled to travel in late January with his wife and baby but was told their travel was canceled. The plaintiffs seek a temporary restraining order and injunction of the suspension of refugee application processing and admissions.
In late February, the district court granted a preliminary injunction in favour of the plaintiffs, which enjoined the defendants from enforcing the executive order and suspending refugee processing and admissions, among other actions. The plaintiffs brought a supplemental complaint in early March, and the district court later granted a second preliminary injunction in favor of the plaintiffs.
The defendants then filed a motion to stay the district court’s order, which the appeals court has granted and denied in part. The order is granted to the extent that the executive order can take effect while waiting on the merits of the plaintiff’s claim but does not apply to refugees who were conditionally approved before January 20, 2025. Similarly, the executive order cannot revoke the refugee status of those admitted before it was issued.
Although President Trump’s order can take effect in part, the merits of the plaintiffs’ claims have yet to be decided.
The International Refugee Assistance Project, the advocacy organization that represents the plaintiffs in this case, released a statement regarding the appeals court’s order:
