Justice Kavanaugh is wrong here that people legally in the US have been “promptly” set free after they show their status. A lot of examples of this not happening.

The State Department's statement to me on these cuts was interesting - "uninterrupted" is not true but anyway -
"not eliminating our commitment to vulnerable populations" is language I'm not used to hearing from the admin so far this year.

We reported in Feb on a hospital in Tanzania whose funds for HIV meds for 300 kids were cut. They lost 6 staff too.
