A federal court on Tuesday temporarily blocked the Trump administration from suspending a refugee resettlement program.

The ruling came during a hearing over a lawsuit brought by a group of nonprofits that receive federal funds under a congressional law.

The nonprofits provide social services for newly-arrived refugees in the U.S. On Monday , a judge in Seattle issued an injunction ordering the government to reinstate contracts with refugee agencies.
