A US federal court on Wednesday issued an order blocking the Trump administration from arresting and detaining refugees living in Minnesota under the PARRIS initiative while a case challenging the initiative proceeds. The District Court for the District of Minnesota issued a temporary restraining order against President Donald Trump’s administration that prohibits the president from using Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officers to arrest refugees who are living in Minnesota, but are not yet legal citizens. The order comes as a response to a challenge filed in Minnesota by a group of refugees represented by non-profit groups International Refugee Assistance Project, Beer Montague, and the Center for Human Rights and Constitutional Law. They are not committing crimes on our streets, nor did they illegally cross the border. The PARRIS initiative, launched in early January, aims to reexamine legal status of refugees in Minnesota through more intensive background checks and a more thorough verification of refugee claims.
