An appeals court has allowed the Trump administration to suspend entry of new refugees as a lawsuit plays out over the president’s executive order halting the nation’s refugee admissions system.

Refugees conditionally approved before President Donald Trump took office must still be processed under the order from the 9th US Circuit Court of Appeals, but it allows the Republican administration to suspend new approvals.
