Trump ordered a 120-day pause on all refugee admissions that started in June following a lengthy battle in the courts. That review concluded Tuesday, when the administration announced that refugee admissions would be restarted with the additional restrictions. The most severe was the blanket restriction on refugee admissions from the 11 countries. And even for applicants coming from approved countries, the new refugee program has a wide range of enhanced vetting procedures. In his executive order signed Tuesday, Trump said he allowed the refugee program to resume because the changes made were "generally adequate."
