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.

Trump "encouraging" Congress to pass the discharge petition is all theater. Trump doesn't need Congress to release the Epstein Files. DOJ reports to HIM. And Pam will do as he commanded—not release the files, or at least any that are embarrassing to him.

We have reliable direct evidence connecting Donald Trump to Epstein’s underage sex trafficking ring. Trump’s DOJ cover-up of Epstein’s crimes must not continue.
