Not providing this information out of fear it will reveal the extent of DHS’s failure to vet Afghan evacuees is not an acceptable excuse. His failure to comply with the law and submit a statutorily mandated report further demonstrates the administration’s contempt for the laws passed by Congress.” Real full letter here. | 1 | 2026-03-30T01:40:41Z | 2026-04-06T20:37:48Z |
