BREAKING: Ninth Circuit panel allows the Trump administration to enforce much of Trump's executive order pausing the refugee admissions program, citing Trump v. Hawaii. There is no noted dissent, and the panel includes Silverman (Clinton) Bade (Trump) and de Alba (Biden).
UNITED STATES COURT OF APPEALS
FOR THE NINTH CIRCUIT
PACITO, et al
Plaintiffs - Appellees,
V.
DONALD J. TRUMP, in his official capacity as President of the United States; et al.,
Defendants - Appellants.
Before: SILVERMAN, BADE, and DE ALBA, Circuit Judges.
ALT
The emergency motion (Docket Entry No. 5) to stay the district court's
February 28, 2025 order is granted in part, and denied in part.
The motion is denied to the extent the district court's preliminary injunction
order applies to individuals who were conditionally approved for refugee status by
the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services before January 20, 2025.
Executive Order No. 14163 does not purport to revoke the refugee status of individuals who received that status under the United States Refugee Admissions
Program prior to January 20, 2025.

In all other respects, the district court's February 28, 2025 preliminary
injunction order is stayed. See Trump v. Hawaii, 585 U.S. 667, 684 (2018)
(explaining that 8 U.S.C. § 1182(f) "exudes deference" to the President and "vests
[him] with ample power to impose entry restrictions in addition to those elsewhere
enumerated in the INA" (citation and internal quotation marks omitted)); Nken v.
Holder, 556 U.S. 418, 434 (2009) (defining standard for stay pending appeal).
