A federal judge said the government is terrorizing lawfully admitted refugees

A federal judge said the government is terrorizing lawfully admitted refugees. ⚖️ In Minnesota, a court blocked a program that allowed the arrest and detention of refugees who have not yet received their green cards. The government claimed it had the power to arrest anyone who had not adjusted status, even though refugees cannot apply for permanent residence until one year after arrival. 🚨 The judge described refugees with no criminal records being handcuffed without warrants and flown to Texas. A family with a four-year-old was detained for hours under harsh conditions, and a student was arrested on her way to school and threatened with family deportation. The court found the government likely violated the Constitution and shut the program down entirely. For forty-five years, no administration interpreted the law this way. 📄 The promise made to refugees still means something. And this ruling shows that some courts are willing to enforce it. ⏳
