Trump sued over order suspending refugee admissions

Major refugee aid groups have sued the Trump administration over the executive order suspending the federal refugee resettlement program and funding for resettlement agencies, as stated in the lawsuit filed in U.S. District Court in Seattle.
The lawsuit seeks to declare Trump's executive order illegal, stop its implementation, and restore refugee-related funding, according to the International Refugee Assistance Project.
President Donald Trump's order claims the refugee program would be suspended due to cities being taxed by 'record levels of migration' and lacking the ability to 'absorb large numbers of migrants,' as mentioned in the executive order.
Melissa Keaney, an attorney at the International Refugee Assistance Project, stated that 'President Trump cannot override the will of Congress with the stroke of a pen,' emphasizing that the refugee suspension is unlawful.
