U.S. District Judge John Tunheim has temporarily barred the Trump administration from detaining refugees in Minnesota who do not yet have green cards, following a plan by the Trump administration to reexamine thousands of refugees' cases. Tunheim's order focuses on the Department of Homeland Security's plan — known as Operation PARRIS — to review the immigration cases of roughly 5,600 people who currently live in Minnesota legally with refugee status, but aren't yet lawful permanent residents in the U.S. DHS "implemented a practice of arresting and detaining — without notice or warrant — individuals previously screened and admitted into the United States as refugees."
Judge John Tunheim wrote “Refugees have a legal right to be in the United States, a right to work, a right to live peacefully—and importantly, a right not to be subjected to the terror of being arrested and detained without warrants or cause in their homes or on their way to religious services or to buy groceries. At its best, America serves as a haven of individual liberties in a world too often full of tyranny and cruelty. We abandon that ideal when we subject our neighbors to fear and chaos."
