New York, NY, February 4, 2017 — Responding to this evening's ruling, President and CEO of the International Rescue Committee, David Miliband:
"This ruling further demonstrates that the Executive Order was not adequately thought out. The Order should be paused and existing vetting and visa systems, which have proved their worth, should be left in place.
There is every right for the Administration to review and build on existing arrangements. There is no excuse for tearing up carefully developed procedures that have kept America safe."
