ACTIVITY
Record dateAdmissions moved scheduled arrivals into review.
PAUSE, I want to look at the Program.
Casework requested instructions for families already cleared.
They say everybody already did the Paperwork, I'd like to see the Paperwork too! Amazing how upset people get when the person in Charge wants to do some Charging.
The exception route requires approval before the traveler can use it.
We have an Exception for Exceptions, very important. Don't turn it into the whole Program!
PUBLIC RECORD
Executive Order 14163, signed January 20, 2025: Ordered suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program effective January 27, 2025, pending a presidential finding that resumption was in U.S. interests, while providing for certain case-by-case exceptions.
