Tunheim also found the government's argument would lead to absurd results. Because the law "makes refugees ineligible for adjustment [to lawful permanent resident status] until one year after entry, Defendants' interpretation would subject every refugee to detention, unless USCIS conducted the inspection and examination precisely at the one-year mark," he wrote. "That outcome is nonsensical and would cause many unadjusted refugees to celebrate their one-year anniversary in this country in a jail cell." This is obviously not what the law requires. But the administration is asking the courts to apply the judicial stamp of approval to its cruel and absurd policy anyway…
