IRC on Administration's travel ban challenge with the Fourth and Ninth U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals

New York, NY, May 15, 2017 —   Said Jennifer Sime, senior vice president of U.S. programs at the International Rescue Committee:
 
“We are hopeful that the 4th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals and the 9th U.S. Circuit Court of Appeals will find the administration’s harmful order to prevent refugees from seeking protection in America unconstitutional. The U.S. refugee resettlement program, working in partnership with federal agencies and local communities, has a proven track record of saving lives and adding to the vibrancy of our communities. The IRC remains committed to working with the administration, state and local governments, and the diverse community groups and local businesses who partner with us to help refugee families find peace and rebuild their lives in the U.S.”
