Yea, that's right. We were about to deport someone who had been granted asylum to almost certain death. He gets to stay, and his family will get to come here and stay with him The cynical argument put forth by the government was that this family gets to be reunited if he is deported. They are right on that. This family will be reunited right here in the USA, and out of harm's way.
There are other cases moving through the Federal courts challenging Trump's Immigration Ban 2.0, but this decision applies to this family only. This intervention and decision has most likely saved lives. Contrary to popular opinion, FDR was not the greatest president ever. One of his orders deported a boat load of Jews back to Germany, where they were murdered, and the courts stood behind him. Thank God the courts are not rubber stamping something similar again.

We really need to stop worrying about what Syrians are doing to each other.
Simply NOT our problem.
