RCUSA is deeply saddened to hear about Rep. @connolly.house.gov's passing. A tireless advocate for refugees, he championed the Lady Liberty Act and helped resettle thousands of Afghan evacuees. His legacy of compassion and leadership will not be forgotten. #WeWillWelcome

Last March, a Trump judge found that the CHNV parole program was a net benefit and Texas therefore had no standing to challenge it.
