Rome, 29 January (LaPresse) – Minnesota federal judge John Tunheim has ordered federal agents to halt the detention and deportation of refugees in Minnesota who had been legally admitted to the United States and to immediately release those currently detained for a review of their cases. This was reported by The New York Times. The judge, it is explained, has granted a temporary restraining order, blocking for now the Trump administration's operation, which has so far involved at least 100 people. It is likely that the administration will appeal the ruling. ‘Refugees have the legal right to reside in the United States, the right to work, the right to live in peace and, above all, the right not to suffer the terror of being arrested and detained without warrant or cause in their homes or while attending religious services or shopping,’ Tunheim wrote in the reasoning for his order, which was published by several American media outlets.
