WASHINGTON/NEW YORK: The Trump administration will temporarily delay the processing of most refugees from 11 countries deemed to be high-risk while resuming refugee admissions for other countries, government officials said on Tuesday. “We continue to have concerns regarding the admission of nationals of … 11 particular countries” deemed to be high-risk, the memo said. He quickly issued the temporary bans on refugees and travellers from several Muslim-majority countries, which were challenged in court. Opponents of the bans argued that the policies were aimed at barring Muslims from the United States. Others who are considered “stateless” by the United States who lived in one of the 11 countries also fall under the mandatory SAO requirement, according to a State Department document seen by Reuters.
