U.S. District Court Judge Robert P. Aguillar signed a written order directing the Office of Management and Budget to release refugee funds illegally impounded by this administration. The significance of this order is that it clearly refutes the Interpretation by OMB of the judges oral order on Monday of this week that the funds were not to be released to State governments. OMB had engaged in another semantic game and misinterpreted a court order. just as they have misinterpreted the will of Congress. to suit policy objectives contrary to the laws we have made. For the benefit of all Interested parties. I am inserting a copy of the judges order of today so there can be no mistake of the intent of the court that 21 States should immediately receive their rightful portion of $11.5 million in refugee aid this administration has unlawfully withheld.
