A US District judge denied once again a request by Texas Attorney General Ken Paxton to block the federal government from bringing Syrian refugees into the state. The court issued a decision this week for the second time, ordering Texas to admit Syrian refugees who have been cross-examined as part of the federal refugee program.

On Monday, US District Judge David C. Godbey rejected Paxton's request for a preliminary injunction to block the Syrian refugees. Judge Godbey said that 'the court does not deny the Syrian refugees pose some risk'.

In December Paxton made its first appeal for a temporary restraining order to hinder the arrival of two Syrian families that landed in Dallas and Houston, as reported by Kera News. Godbey then denied the second request for a temporary restraining order to bar nine other Syrian refugees from arriving in the state of Texas. However, Texas underlined that it would still proceed with its lawsuit to bar Syrian refugee settlement.

President Barack Obama vowed to welcome 10,000 individuals fleeing from Syria due to war. Reuters reported that the Obama has admitted 2,000 refugees so far. Meanwhile, Europe is also dealing with the same dilemma with over millions of asylum seekers fleeing from the war-torn places of Africa and the Middle East.

Texas Governor Greg Abbot was one of the first of more than 30 US governors who are seeking to bar resettlement of Syrians into their respective state. The Republican governor warned every one of its risks and reminded the people of that attack that befell in Paris. The Paris attack made Georgia Governor Nathan Deal to walk back from his announcement that the state would not allow Syrian migrants after the state's Attorney General issued an opinion that excluding refugees from Syria would be illegal as reported by Fusion.

243 Syrian refugees have resettled in Texas since 2011. The state of Texas is now one of the main US relocation sites since the Syrian civil war erupted about five years ago.
