MADISON, Wis. — A federal judge in Wisconsin on Friday blocked President Trump's revised immigration order from applying to the case of a Syrian asylum recipient and his family.
U.S. District Judge William Conley in Madison put a limited freeze on the presidential order, which restricts immigration from six mostly Muslim nations. Conley’s order applies only to the Syrian man and only lasts until his case can be resolved, ensuring the government will keep working on the man's asylum request for his family while he challenges Trump’s latest immigration limits.
"Given the daily threat to the lives of plaintiff's wife and child remaining in Aleppo, Syria, the court further finds a significant risk of irreparable harm," Conley wrote in a brief order Friday.
