A federal judge in Dallas has ruled against Texas’ efforts to stop the resettlement of Syrian refugees in the state.  

Dallas Federal District Judge David Godsby said the State had failed to show how allowing the federal government to work with local non-profits to resettle Syrian refugees posed a creditable threat to the state.   Godsby said, that state Republican leaders’ attempts to block families fleeing the war-torn country need to be handled through “the political process” and not the courtroom.
