This is heartbreakingly cruel and hypocritical. The same admin that has redefined refugee status to cover white South Africans is now going to drown thousands of refugees already approved for their status in red tape, potentially even seeking to strip some of their status and deport them.

I wonder if Trump will be told that James Comey can't be retried because of Bondi's incompetence.
Comey was indicted on September 25. 2025. Five days later, the statute of limitations ran out. So Pam Bondi wasting those five days with an illegitimate prosecutor means that Comey can’t be retried.
