DHS says it’s safe to deport Afghans back to the Taliban because the regime is promoting tourism and had 7,000 visitors in 2023.

WOW! This would be a seismic shift in immigration enforcement policy.
Can you imagine the scenes of raids at after-school pick-up, hospital rooms, and Sunday school services? Schools, hospitals, and churches should be community cornerstones — not ICE hunting grounds.
