Trump and this administration will never miss an opportunity to turn an isolated incident into part of a larger effort to further politicize, demonize and otherwise betray us all.

We’re basically fucked until he and Republicans are out of office.

Now the Trump regime wants to deport Afghan refugees, in case you're wondering why an Afghan refugee might have a grudge against the Trump regime.

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.
USCIS Refugee Memo – Summary of Key Provisions Effective immediately, USCIS is ordering: ● A total freeze on all pending Form I-485 applications filed by refugees admitted from Jan 20, 2021 – Feb 20, 2025 ● A mandatory re-interview of all principal refugees admitted during that period ● A review and potential re-interview of derivative refugees, including spouses, children, and follow-to-join beneficiaries ● A reassessment of whether each refugee met the definition at the time of admission Authority being invoked: ● INA § 101(a)(42) (refugee definition) ● INA § 207 and § 209 (termination and adjustment authority) ● USCIS asserts power to undo past refugee admissions Consequences: ● USCIS may terminate refugee status for principals and all derivatives ● USCIS may deny green cards, even for those who already have them ● There is no appeal of a denied refugee-based I-485; the only option is to contest removal in immigration court ● Refugees placed in removal proceedings may renew their I-485 claim before an immigration judge Additional conditions: ● USCIS has 90 days to create the priority list for who will be re-interviewed ● The freeze on I-485s remains until lifted in a future memo ● Only the USCIS Director or Deputy Director may authorize exceptions ● USCIS is explicitly framing this as correcting “expediency,” “quantity over quality,” and “vulnerabilities” in Biden-era adjudications ● The memo states USCIS will revisit all inadmissibility grounds, including those previously waived ● The memo highlights a review of the persecutor bar ● It asserts a need to ensure refugees “pose no threat to national security or public safety”
