MINNEAPOLIS: A US federal judge temporarily blocked the administration of President Donald Trump Wednesday from detaining refugees in Minnesota awaiting permanent resident status and ordered the release of those in detention.

Authorities launched a program this month to re-examine the legal status of the approximately 5,600 refugees in Minnesota who have not yet been given green cards.
