Yes agreed that’s what it says and how it’s worked but I’m worried they will be reading it as 60 days carte blanche and congress won’t get its act together quick only enough over the holidays. Ugh.

… and (*sigh*) yeah.
I keep saying this but no one is connecting the dots. The war is to satisfy legal preconditions for mass removal *domestically* of Latinos (i.e., suddenly a lot of people are going to be “Venezuelan” for purposes of removal). This is 100% Stephen Miller…oil claim is to make grandpa go along
There is no national security logic that would impel the US to want to do regime change in Venezuela. It's simply not that important. I'm not even sure wag the dog is the right metaphor for what's happening here. Seems like an insane misallocation of US national security assets and attention.

Out of the 39, Nigeria is also the country most heavily impacted by the ban on non-immigrant visas. Excluding the COVID years, from FY 2015 to 2024 an average of 128,000 Nigerians were granted nonimmigrant visas each year. These were primarily tourist and student visas, which are now barred.
