How the Supreme Court's Ruling on Trump's Travel Ban Will Impact Refugees Around the World

 

The Supreme Court has issued a preliminary decision on Trump’s travel ban–and this decision could have a profound impact on refugees around the world.

The court upheld key portions of the travel ban pending a final ruling by the court in October. This includes a 120 day ban on all refugees coming to the United States from everywhere in the world — though with some exceptions.

On the line with me to talk through the Supreme Court ruling, including its implications for US refugee resettlement policy is Rachel Landry a Policy and Advocacy Officer for Global Protection and Resettlement with the International Rescue Committee, which is one of the largest refugee resettlement agencies in the United States. (Like me, Rachel is also a Humanity in Action Senior Fellow).

Rachel discusses the ways in which this ruling could impact how the United States takes in refugees from around the world. She also discusses the US refugee resettlement process more broadly; that is, how it works, it’s history and background.

I promise that after listening to this conversation you will learn a lot about US refugee policy and why it matters.

Rachel is speaking in her personal capacity as an expert on these issues and is not speaking on behalf of the International Rescue Committee.   Leave a review on iTunes!
