Over the past few weeks, a U.S. District Court in Seattle has handed down several rulings against lifting an injunction against the administration's barring of certain refugees from entering the US. This case involved a lawsuit filed by the ACLU in Seattle on behalf of organizations working to help refugees and their families.
Lisa Nowlin, from the Washington State ACLU's legal team, explained the rulings in more detail, as well as what they mean for refugees living in limbo and the organizations trying to help reunite them with their families.
Here's a list of upcoming ACLU workshops:
