The U.S. State Department is ramping up refugee admissions back to more normal levels after it had slowed to a trickle over the past month under President Donald Trump.
WND has confirmed through a State Department spokesperson that the administration is set to more than double the number of refugees arriving in U.S. cities from the current 400 per week to 900 per week.
On March 15 a federal judge, Derrick Watson in Hawaii, issued a nationwide injunction stopping the State Department from enforcing or implementing sections 2 and 6 of President Trumps March 6 executive order. Section 6[b] lowers the cap on refugee arrivals to 50,000, down from the 110,000 level set by President Obama.
After the courts ruling, which was upheld Wednesday by the Ninth Circuit Court of Appeals, the cap reverts back to the Obama level of 110,000.

"The U.N.'s massive Dadaab camp in Kenya sends a steady stream of Somali refugees to the United States. More than 200 Somalis have entered the U.S. as refugees since Trumps first full day in office on Jan. 21.
Post the relevant parts of the bill for confirmation please.
It seems elections don’t have consequences.
Can we send them ALL to San Francisco and West Hollywood at least??
Upside down. The President has the constitutional authority here. The 9th circus does not.
It seems that life-time appointed judges in Hawaii have veto power over elected Presidents' actions. I never read that part of the Constitution, but apparently, it is there....
At least on the bright side we still have Obongocare and no wall. Oh, and Comey is still in charge. And Soros is still doing his thing. Hey wait, those things aren’t bright. my bad
The IRS chump is still there.
I’m wondering where all the pi$$ and vinegar is that we heard during the campaign?
Swamp fluid level holding at obama levels
Refugee Resettlement Watch has been following the refugee scam for years. These are the top 3 entries as of this morning:
Confirmed - Trumps Department of State is going back to normal refugee admission numbers
State Department says it will up refugee arrivals to 900 a week
Trump Department of State supports the Muslim Brotherhood, White House caves
More like judge and obama sycophant watson’s refugee plan.
I was speaking to a conservative friend the other day and he said if Trump does nothing, at least he’s a placeholder we have instead of Hillary. If Hillary had gotten in she would have finished us off. I know, the lowering of already lowered expectations but it’s all we have. Placeholder. Trump’s winning has also been a learning experience for many to teach us about the shadow government and the swamp. Civil War looks pretty good about now I bet. Before, it would have been unthinkable. Unfortunately, violence is the only thing among men that brings real, lasting results. Violence is good.
He needs to do what liberals would do. Delay, defund, red tape, whatever needs to be done. Is Trump a paper tiger or what?
Smells like fake news intended to erode Trump’s support. Not that I don’t doubt HuffPo’s incredible trustworthiness or unnamed sources in the still-infested state dept, but I’m skeptical.
War is always a bad option. There are times when all other choices are even worse, and a prudent person prepares for such times. If that time is coming in 8 years (4 years?) I hope all decent Americans will be ready, but I also hope we will work to restore freedom and the rule of law before that choice becomes the best choice left in a set of bad options. Yes, even with President Trump, it would be prudent to invest in steel, brass, and lead, and to practice frequently with each.
President Trump, and may he live 1000 years, is just one man. He’s an army of one in a barren land. He has NO backing. He’s a master quarterback on a team with 3 zebras, a handicapped lesbian, a dwarf, a bucket of fish and another zebra. He can throw pass after pass but what good does it do if he has a party and congress of filth and traitors. Away with the lot of them. Not a single decent one in the bunch.
He has handled the judges overriding him badly. He didn’t think any judges would do this?
you mean to tell me no one knows how to slow walk an order or just refuse?
There is another judge who approved the eo...
