No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
The folks at @afghanevac.bsky.social have in hand a new USCIS directive which largely targets Afghan refugees who fled the Taliban in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal in 2021.
In case you needed a reminder that the most loathsome people in the world work for DHS.

If this is made a demand, after Russia has broken all agreements it has ever signed with Ukraine, then there is only one explanation;

Trump boasting about his great Russia-Ukraine peace deal. The narrative that Witkoff forced this on him is a con to say Trump was not responsible. He is boasting about it for gods sake.

Prediction: Some will seize on the shooting to try to pull Dems back to a position of cowardice on Trump's deportations, and Stephen Miller will scam dimwit commentators into making this case as well, but what happened ultimately won't dent public disapproval of the raids/arrests in the slightest.
