法官延长了保护明尼苏达州难民免遭逮捕和驱逐出境的命令
周五，一名联邦法官延长了一项命令，保护在美国合法居留的明尼苏达州难民免遭逮捕和驱逐，称特朗普政府的政策将“美国梦变成了反乌托邦噩梦”。

U.S. District Judge John Tunheim granted a motion by advocates for refugees to convert a temporary restraining order that he issued in January into a more permanent preliminary injunction while the case develops further.
该命令仅适用于明尼苏达州。但国土安全部 2 月 18 日宣布的新国家难民政策的影响是法官第二天举行的听证会上讨论的主要内容。
"Minnesota refugees can now live their lives without fear that their own government will snatch them off the street and imprison them far from loved ones," Kimberly Grano, an attorney with the International Refugee Assistance Project, told The Associated Press.
The Trump administration asserts it has the right to arrest potentially tens of thousands of refugees across the U.S. who entered the country legally but don't yet have green cards.一份新的国土安全备忘录对移民法的解释是，申请绿卡的难民必须在进入美国一年后返回联邦拘留，以便他们的申请能够得到审查。
然而，法官对长达 66 页的意见表示不相信。
"This Court will not allow federal authorities to use a new and erroneous statutory interpretation to terrorize refugees who immigrated to this country under the promise that they would be welcomed and allowed to live in peace, far from the persecution they fled," Tunheim said.
他说，美国几十年前就向逃离迫害的难民承诺，经过严格的背景调查后，他们可以开始新的生活。
