No idea why an Afghan refugee shot National Guard soldiers within walking distance of the White House, but this new USCIS directive was revealed on Monday. Worth noting.
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.

Dear foreign nationals in war-torn countries, terrorism hot-spots, and amidst our enemies:
If you help the United States, we’ll fuck you over and abandon you. Not the individual servicepeople or intelligence officers — they’ll fight for you. I mean the depraved, soulless leadership of the nation.

So now they’re going to be doing individualized re-review of tens of thousands of Afghan evacuees’ cases on TOP of the re-review of 200,000+ refugees who entered under Biden?

We don’t know yet why they were shot, and I truly hope they will be OK, but one thing is certain - If Donald hadn’t been treating our National Guard like his f-n show ponies, these two Guardsman would likely be with their families right now and not lying in a hospital in critical condition. 🤬

It is also important to keep in mind that one of the first immigration actions Trump & Miller took was stranding the next batch of these Afghan refugees who were approved & waiting to come here. Essentially condemning them to persecution & possible torture or death.
this should go without saying but if you were one of the lucky few we did get out of Afghanistan during the withdrawal and we got you out because you'd been working with us, deportation back is likely a death sentence.

The good news for the Russians is that Trump & his team aren't asking the Russians to make any concessions, just offering them rewards.
Russian Deputy Foreign Minister Sergey Ryabkov stated that they welcome the U.S. efforts to seek solutions to the "crisis," but refuse to make any concessions regarding the war in Ukraine.
