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.
Trump Admin planning a rule to re-decide whether *every* refugee who entered under Biden meets their criteria for a refugee. That’s 230,000 people! And no appeals!

It would be amazing to have flights from Lancaster to and from Philly and Chicago!
Chicago, Raleigh and Philadelphia are some of the new destinations being pitched by airlines seeking federal funding for passenger service between Lancaster Airport and larger hubs. The public can weigh in on their proposals through Sept. 17.

Trump’s “refugee” policy:
White South Africans in.
Afghan interpreters out.
Persecuted Christians ignored. I saw this playbook up close. It’s not protection. It’s propaganda.

The majority of Burma is no longer under the control of the Burmese military. In each area freed from military occupation there are ethnic revolutionary administrations, local administrations and local civil society networks which need support to assist their populations.

A powerful earthquake has rattled Myanmar and neighbouring Thailand, trapping dozens of workers in a collapsed under-construction skyscraper in Bangkok where a state of emergency was declared.
The 7.7-magnitude tremor hit northwest of the city of Sagaing, the United States Geological Survey said.
