Major refugee aid groups say President Donald Trump's administration appears to be trying to circumvent a federal court ruling this week that blocked his efforts to suspend the nation's refugee admissions program.

President Donald Trump’s effort to suspend the system for resettling refugees in the U.S. is on hold after a federal judge in Seattle blocked it

I cannot ignore Congress’ detailed framework for refugee admissions and the limits it placed on the president’s ability to suspend the same,” said Judge Jamal Whitehead.

Federal judges ruled against Donald Trump's administration in three cases on the same day. One decision involved halting the implementation of an executive order suspending the admission of refugees to the United States and limiting funding for their resettlement programs.
