A judge on Thursday rescinded an order that would have required the Trump administration to admit some 12,000 refugees into the United States.
U.S. District Judge Jamal Whitehead in Seattle issued the order earlier this month, following instructions from a federal appeals court that said the government must process refugees who before Jan. 20 already had “arranged and confirmable” travel plans to enter the U.S. That's the day President Donald Trump took office and suspended the nation’s refugee admissions program.
