The Supreme Court has issued a preliminary decision on Trump\\u2019s travel ban\\u2013and this decision could have a profound impact on refugees around the world.

The court upheld key portions of the travel ban pending a final ruling by the court in October. This includes a 120 day ban on all refugees coming to the United States from everywhere in the world \\u2014 though with some exceptions.

On the line with me to talk through the Supreme Court ruling, including its implications for US refugee resettlement policy is Rachel Landry a\\xa0Policy and Advocacy Officer for Global Protection and Resettlement with the International Rescue Committee, which is one of the largest refugee resettlement agencies in the United States. (Like me, Rachel is also a Humanity in Action Senior Fellow).

Rachel discusses the ways in which this ruling could impact how the United States takes in refugees from around the world. She also discusses the US refugee resettlement process more broadly; that is, how it works, it\\u2019s history and background.

I promise that after listening to this conversation you will learn a lot about US refugee policy and why it matters.
