A federal judge Monday dismissed Tennessee's lawsuit against the federal government over refugee resettlement.
In the lawsuit, the state alleged the federal government violated the 10th Amendment, which says the federal government possesses only the powers delegated to it by the U.S. Constitution and that all other powers are reserved for the states.
Tennessee charged that the federal government was not complying with the Refugee Act of 1980.
The federal refugee act was designed to create a permanent procedure for the admission of refugees into the U.S.
