This new USCIS memo is outrageous. A mass “re-interview” of every refugee admitted between Jan 2021–Feb 2025, plus a freeze on all pending green-card applications. This wasn’t announced during a work week. They dumped it during Thanksgiving week, hoping no one would notice.

Protests have been erupting at CAS in Doha. People are upset that the United States Government flew people who helped our U.S. mission in Afghanistan to Doha and have abandoned them there. At home and abroad, the government is betraying our allies.

Here's a story I told at the @unite4Vets rally this weekend. If you believe we should be the freedom man, welcoming our wartime allies into our nation, please invest in @AfghanEvac's mission today. #AfghanEvac #FreedomMan

“If they want to slit the throat of the Afghan Adjustment Act, let them have the courage to do so on the Senate floor, in full view of the veterans and allies they are betraying.” @RepMeijer using his final floor speech to talk #AfghanAdjustmentAct. CC: Jake Tapper 🦅, Dana Perino

A message for the Government of Pakistan: please be patient while the USG figures out what it’s going to do with #EnduringWelcome. Our allies should not suffer due to USG transition. #EidMubarak #AfghanEvac

Another #SomethingAboutMary Bischoping. She is ACTIVELY pushing Congress and Department of State to send vulnerable afghans in the US and Qatar, back to 🇦🇫. Afghans and the veterans helping them deserve better treatment and more professionalism. She is betraying us all. #AfghanEvac

Today, the Trump administration increased the FY2026 refugee ceiling by 10,000 slots reserved for Afrikaners from South Africa. At the same time, Afghan allies remain shut out of every pathway built for people who served alongside the United States.

These folks are trying to create the space for anti-veteran officials in the administration to cancel #EnduringWelcome for SIVs and refugees (P1/P2). We will not allow hard line immigration activists to divide veterans fighting for our wartime allies. Please share. #AfghanEvac

🚨 #URGENT UPDATE Tonight at 6:20pm an immigration judge dismissed Sayed's case which places him into expedited removal. Now all that stands between him and deportation is a "credible fear" interview that his attorney is not allowed to attend. This is bullshit. #StandWithSayed

We need you to act NOW! Call your members of congress, tell them to step in. Americans brought Afghans to UAE. And the American government brought Afghans to Qatar. Watch and share. Use #SomethingAboutMary and #AfghanEvac to amplify.

An update on #EnduringWelcome and #TravelBan 1. Refugees and relocation flights still paused 2. SIVs are still able to self-fund arrivals, if they have valid visas 3. The report on #EO14161 has not yet gone to the The White House from Department of State 4. Travel ban not expected today

This is about refugees only, not SIVs. 300 Afghans would NOT be a win. We need the number to be commensurate with the need. It’s not too late — if we push, we can make this better.

We owe Afghans a straight answer. Yesterday, Andrea Mitchell asked: Will Afghan nationals be in the travel ban? U.S. Department of State Spokesperson dodged, claiming "no list." But The New York Times & Reuters confirm one exists—Afghanistan is on it. Lives are at stake. We need clarity. Watch & share.

Friends, I don't think Secretary Kristi Noem checked with Chairman Brian Mast regarding whether or not Afghanistan is safe before ending #TPS. It's not. I'm grateful for his having convened this roundtable last year. I hope to see him coming out swinging on this issue like he did then.

We need to clear some things up. 1. Bagram is not reopened & there are no U.S. forces in Afghanistan. 2. Stop going back to Afghanistan. Do not leave the US if you are here. You’re fucking it up for everyone else. 3. Family reunifications through I730 aren’t happening. At all.

Lots of confusion out there about who falls under the refugee category, so we made this video to help.

A quick video update related to the recent #PacitoVsTrump injunction thread I’m reposting below. This will NOT have an immediate impact but it SHOULD mean that reception and placement services (resettlement agency) are funded and staffed again. Stay tuned! #AfghanEvac

The report on #EO14161 has not yet gone to the The White House so valid U.S. visa or green card holders still have time to make it to the United States before an expected travel ban. We'll let you know when we hear it's gone to the White House. #AfghanEvac

An update on the upcoming report as a result of EO 14161. We spent today on Capitol Hill asking Members of Congress to speak out and ask the White House to ensure that Afghans aren't impacted by any upcoming travel bans. visit to learn more.
