Trump expands ICE authority to detain refugees with lawful status
The Trump administration issued a memo authorizing ICE to detain refugees who entered the U.S. lawfully but have not yet secured permanent residency, creating a mandatory one-year re‑vetting point and allowing detention during the review; detainees can be released for interviews or face arrest and possible deportation if red flags surface, a move supporters say targets security concerns while critics argue it punishes legally admitted refugees.
