The Trump administration has issued a sweeping new order that could lead to the arrest of tens of thousands of refugees who are lawfully in the United States but do not yet have permanent residency

A Trump administration order could allow detention of refugees lawfully living in the U.S. while awaiting green cards.

The new policy is a shift from an earlier memo, that failure to obtain lawful permanent resident status was not a 'basis' for removal or detention.

A federal judge in Minnesota held a Trump administration attorney in civil contempt for “flagrant disobedience of court orders” in the case of a noncitizen swept up in the immigration crackdown there earlier this year.

A federal judge on Wednesday vacated an immigration court ruling giving the Trump administration broad powers to detain migrants, forcing them to give bond hearings and then possibly release
