DHS Move to Detain Refugees Awaiting Green Cards Sparks Legal Challenge

A DHS memo proposes detaining refugees who are legally in the U.S. but awaiting green-card reviews for the full duration of their review, potentially affecting tens of thousands and expanding a prior enforcement push under Operation PARRIS. The plan has drawn immediate legal challenges in Minnesota, where a temporary restraining order has blocked similar actions, as advocates warn it undermines the vetting process and due process for refugees.
