Government seeks change to order lifting Trump refugee ban
SEATTLE (AP) — Lawyers
with the Department of Justice have
asked a federal judge to change his
order that partially lifted a Trump
administration refugee ban.
Just before Christmas, U.S.
District Judge James Robart in
Seattle imposed a nationwide
injunction that blocks restrictions
on reuniting refugee families and
partially lifted a ban on refugees
from 11 mostly Muslim countries.
Robart limited that part of the
injunction to refugees who have a
bona fide relationship with people
or entities in the United States. He
also said that refugees who have
formal agreements with refugee
resettlement agencies were covered
under his order.
The government does not want
to include resettlement agencies.
Government lawyers filed a
motion Wednesday saying that
although the 9th U.S. Circuit Court
of Appeals has interpreted the
“bona fide relationship” to include
connections to resettlement agen-
cies, the U.S. Supreme Court has
stayed that ruling. That means the
highest court indicates it disagrees
with the appeals court on that point,
the lawyers say.
Attorneys for refugee support
organization HIAS and Jewish
Family Service say the govern-
ment’s claims are wrong.

in its earlier order protecting refu-
gees with bona fide relationships

to the US from the last temporary
refugee ban,” Mark Hetfield,
president and CEO of New York-
based HIAS, said Thursday. “Yet
in its latest ban, the Trump admin-
istration not only ignored this
admonition, but went even further
to explicitly prevent refugees in
the U.S. from reuniting with their
spouse or minor children.”
The refugee organizations and
the American Civil Liberties Union
filed two lawsuits, consolidated
into one, challenging the Trump
administration’s refugee ban.
The ACLU represents a Somali
man who has spent years trying to
bring his wife and children to his
home in Washington state.
Jewish Family Service chal-
lenged the administration’s prohi-
bition of refugees from certain
countries until the vetting process
could be reviewed.
Department of Justice lawyers
argued in a hearing last week
that the ban was a temporary and
reasonable way for agencies to deal
with gaps in the screening process.
But ACLU and Jewish Family
Service lawyers said the govern-
ment violated federal law when
it implemented the ban. Robart
agreed, and also said the refugee
ban violated the Immigration
and Nationality Act passed by
Congress.
Mariko Hirose, a lawyer on the
Jewish Family Service case and
litigation director for International
Refugee Assistance Project, said
the Trump administration has
attacked refugee resettlement since
the first travel ban, leaving vulner-
able refugees in limbo.
The plaintiffs include two Iraqi
men who served as interpreters for
the U.S. Army and are said to be in
“extreme danger” because of their
work. Other plaintiffs include an
Iraqi woman was kidnapped, raped
and threatened with death for her
work with an American company
and a transgender woman in Egypt
faces harassment and persecution.
They all were in the process of
coming to the U.S. when the exec-
utive order went into effect.
In the motion filed Wednesday,
government lawyers cited the
Supreme Court’s three stay orders
on previous Trump travel bans as
evidence the high court disagrees
with letting the bona fide relation-
ship include refugee resettlement
agencies or humanitarian organi-
zations.

groups and blocked them at the
last minute.
In September, the 10th U.S.
Circuit Court of Appeals in Denver
declined to rule in that case
because the Trump administration
intended to rescind the rules.
The rules would have required
companies to disclose chemicals
used in fracking, the process
of pumping pressurized water
underground to break open
hydrocarbon deposits.
Trump administration
rescinding rules for
oil, gas drilling
CHEYENNE, Wyo.
(AP) — President Donald
Trump’s administration is
rescinding proposed rules for
hydraulic fracturing and other
oil- and gas-drilling practices on
government lands.
The U.S. Department of the
Interior announced Thursday
the rescission would take effect
Friday.
The rules developed under
President Barack Obama would
have applied to drilling on federal
lands located mainly in the West.
They were set to take effect in
2015 but a judge in Wyoming
sided with petroleum industry
Jones officially
declared winner
over Roy Moore
MONTGOMERY, Ala.
(AP) — Democrat Doug Jones’
historic victory over Republican
Roy Moore was declared official
Thursday as Alabama election
officials certified him the winner
of the special Senate election,
despite Moore’s last-minute
lawsuit claiming voter fraud.
Jones defeated Moore on Dec.
12 by 21,924 votes in a stunning
victory in a traditionally red
state, becoming the first Alabama
Democrat elected to the Senate
victory in a quarter-century. The
win came after Moore, best known
for stands against gay marriage
and the public display of the Ten
Commandments, was dogged by
accusations of sexual misconduct
involving teenage girls that
occurred decades ago.
Jones said in a statement that he
looked forward to going to work
for the people of Alabama in the
new year.
Jones will be sworn in on Jan.
3, narrowing the GOP’s advantage
in the U.S. Senate to 51-49. He
takes over the seat previously held
by Attorney General Jeff Sessions.
‘Obamacare’ sign-up
tally dips to 8.7M
WASHINGTON (AP) — More
than 8.7 million people signed up
for coverage next year under the
Obama-era health care law, the
government reported Thursday,
as the program that President
Donald Trump has repeatedly
pronounced “a disaster” exceeded
expectations.
The final tally for the 39
HealthCare.gov states showed
about 80,000 fewer sign-ups than
an initial count provided last week,
before the Christmas holiday. A
spokesman for the Centers for
Medicare and Medicaid Services
said the slight dip was due to late
cancellations.
Still, HealthCare.gov
enrollment reached nearly 95
percent of last year’s level,
outperforming projections in
a show of consumer demand,
despite a shortened sign-up season
and big cuts in the ad budget.
Ahead of open enrollment,
analysts had predicted somewhere
around 1 million to 2 million
fewer people would sign up
for subsidized private coverage
through the Affordable Care Act.
But the latest numbers indicate
that new customers kept showing
up as the Dec. 15 enrollment
deadline closed. More than 66,000
new customers were added since
the pre-Christmas enrollment
report.
