Trump Orders Detention of Legal Refugees for Mandatory Re-Inspection

#WashingtonDC, #USA
Donald Trump authorized federal agents to detain legal refugees for mandatory re-inspection one year after their arrival in the USA.This directive from the DHS reverses a long-standing policy and could affect nearly 200,000 people who entered during the Joe Biden administration.Advocacy groups like HIAS condemned the move as ICE detention numbers reached 68,000 following a 75% increase in recent months.US District Judge John Tunheim is currently reviewing a legal challenge to the policy after previously blocking similar arrests in Minnesota.
