A federal judge in Indianapolis on Monday
blocked Republican Gov. Mike Pence's order that barred state agencies

refugees in Indiana. The group sued shortly after Pence issued his order
in November, saying the change would hurt aid groups by withholding
reimbursements for housing and medical care to assist Syrian refugees.
