A judge for the US District Court for the District of Oregon denied a request Wednesday for a temporary restraining order against a 60-day ban on green cards for most immigrants issued by the Trump administration on April 22. President Donald Trump cited the job market as the reason for this proclamation.
The Justice Action Center filed the request for a temporary restraining order, claiming that the children of permanent residents that would be restricted from obtaining visas are under the court’s jurisdiction, and that it could therefore block the ban.
