I donʻt mean to be Pollyanna but this gives me hope.

If I was in any branch of the military where I could retire, Iʻd do that right now.

It appears that Cheung’s stated desire that people not “politicize this tragedy” is not shared by all of his colleagues.👇

And we should have provided for refugee status for like 100,000 Iraqi and Afghan allies and families. The way we abandoned the Afghans was a disgrace. And as a pretentious Christian nation we should be a hell of a lot more receptive to refugees. Not to mention it’s profitable!

@reichlinmelnick.bsky.social received an email from Shawn Van Diver, President of @afghanevac.bsky.social two days ago (Nov 24th}, indicating that a USCIS memo was already circulating to re-review all Afghan refugee cases - this was ready to go. I've attached his reconstruction of that memo.
USCIS Refugee Memo – Summary of Key Provisions Effective immediately, USCIS is ordering: - A total freeze on all pending Form I-485 applications filed by refuge 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 admission Authority being invoked: - INA § 101(a)(42) (refugee definitio - 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”
