Three faith groups involved in U.S Refugee Resettlement are planning to sue the Trump Administration.

The groups will argue that a recent executive order interferes with their ability to practice faith, which is in violation of American laws, reports Relevant Magazine.

The executive order allows for local authorities to prevent the resettling of refugees. It states that the government can find homes for refugees in the US "only in those jurisdictions in which both the State and local governments” have given them written permission.

Included in those rallying against the order include HIAS (Hebrew Immigrant Aid Society), Church World Service (CWS), and Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service.

These three groups claim the executive order hinders their ability to live out their faith.

CWS Senior Vice President of the Immigration and Refugee Program Erol Kekic says the order prevents those with a faith background "from fulfilling their faith calling and missions to 'welcome the stranger.'"

HIAS President and CEO Mark Hetfield says the order is "not about enhancing state and their local involvement in resettlement as the only new option it gives to states and localities is to end their involvement in refugee resettlement.

Stricter rules enforced by the Trump Administration regarding refugees have made it difficult for US organizations to find appropriate housing for those immigrating and attempting to settle in America. Of the nine organizations partnered with the federal government in this task, six are faith-based. 

American President Donald Trump has set a cap on refugees to be accepted by the US in 2020 at 18,000. During Barack Obama's final year in office, the cap was 110,000.
