US Citizenship and Immigration Services is indefinitely halting all immigration requests involving Afghan refugees.
They are pretending that they are doing this in response to today's shooting in DC—but in fact, they ordered this *before* the shooting.
They create crises, then capitalize on them.

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.

NEW: ICE has torn up its $180M cap on a proposed immigrant-tracking program and is now guaranteeing private surveillance firms at least $7.5M each, with potential payouts reaching $281M per vendor. The change signals a shift from “pilot” to full-scale outsourcing of street-level investigative work.
