The judge’s ruling comes amid lawsuits filed by refugee resettlement advocacy groups in response to President Donald Trump’s executive order last year requiring states to provide written consent from local officials before moving forward with refugee resettlement in their areas. “It adds more confusion around the program and a little bit of uncertainty now about what the next steps are for us,” said Micaela Schuneman, director of refugee services for the International Institute of Minnesota. The institute is one of only five agencies in the state of Minnesota that works to resettle refugees in the state’s 87 counties.
