What international laws, treaty or treaties are you referring to? I find your statement very hard to believe, but I'm no expert.

The 1951 Refugee Convention, in particular Article 3.

Legal issues are well beyond the area of my expertise, so I have no idea if Trump's recent actions contravene this per se, but the point is that we do have some obligation to help refugees under international law.
