Three refugee resettlement agencies file a lawsuit challenging Trump's executive order that requires states and local governments to consent to receiving refugees

Three refugee resettlement agencies filed a lawsuit Thursday challenging an executive order that requires states and local governments to consent to receiving refugees, calling the order"unprecedented."

In late September, Trump issued the executive order at issue in Thursday's lawsuit. The order directed states and localities to provide written consent to resettle refugees in their jurisdictions. Refugee resettlement agencies, which are charged with placing refugees in communities across the country, pushed back on the order, arguing that the order had the potential of limiting the places where refugees could eventually be resettled.
