A federal judge has blocked the Trump administration from detaining refugees in Minnesota, following a spate of arrests in the state. More than 100 refugees who had lawfully resettled in the state had been arrested in recent weeks, according to attorneys and advocacy groups. On Wednesday, US district judge John R Tunheim ordered the administration to temporarily halt the arrest and detention of lawfully resettled refugees, while a lawsuit about the administration’s policy of “re-vetting” this population continued. The judge mandated the immediate release of all detained refugees in Minnesota and the release of those taken to Texas within five days. He was detained first in Minnesota, and then flown to Texas, where he was “interrogated about his refugee status”, according to the filing.
