Subject Remember when everyone said Trump should ignore the block on his immigration ban? Turns out he did just that.

Refugee processing in the United States appears to be undergoing a significant slowdown, even though courts have blocked the Trump administration's early efforts to suspend refugee admissions.

Ever since President Donald Trump signed an executive order in January banning travel from seven majority-Muslim countries and suspending refugee arrivals for 120 days, the Department of Homeland Security has refrained from interviewing refugee applicants, The Washington Post reported.

Homeland Security officials and several refugee resettlement groups told The Post that they were not aware of any interviews that had taken place since Trump's first travel ban was issued, even though multiple federal judges have since blocked parts of two executive orders Trump signed on the issue - the first signed in January and the second in March.

Refugee resettlement agencies have even begun cutting back on their overseas staff due to the slowdown. Jen Smyers, director of refugee policy and advocacy with the Church World Service, told The Post she's never seen a four-month suspension of the admissions program.

"Refugee processing has ground to a halt," she said.
