Ninth Circuit Protects Refugees with Assurances of Sponsorship

“The Ninth Circuit held in a per curiam order on Thursday (summarized here) that, pending a definitive adjudication on the merits, refugees abroad with sponsorship assurances from U.S. resettlement agencies were not covered by President Trump’s revised executive order (EO) on refugees and could enter the U.S. in the normal course of refugee resettlement. That’s the right result, though it pushes the boundaries of the Supreme Court’s June stay order and the Court’s July clarification, which I wrote about at the time. It also raises some troubling questions about judicial review of Trump administration actions.”
