Joined @AliVelshi to discuss immigration restrictions, many of which were underway before the tragic shooting in DC. What’s new and deeply troubling is the attempt to retroactively tie them to one heinous crime and cast suspicion on entire nationalities – including Afghan allies.

“We can’t lose sight of who these neighbors are: caregivers, essential workers, small-business owners, veterans, faith leaders — families who have lived here for years, paid taxes, and raised American children.”

ICYMI from leading refugee resettlement org @GlobalRefuge. “This unprecedented decision introduces profound uncertainty into the lives of families who have endured and legally demonstrated a well-founded fear of persecution,” says @KrishVignarajah. https://t.co/B7nrsMBWQn

Grateful beyond words for family, for community, and for the everyday acts of kindness that hold us together. From our family to yours, Happy Thanksgiving.

As we face this moment of uncertainty, our commitment remains the same: to stand with those seeking safety, to uphold the principles of due process, and to ensure that our nation’s promise of protection endures. Read our full @GlobalRefuge statement:

Wrenching stuff here:

"Refugee families need a pathway to protection that is consistent, principled and grounded in the promise that every life matters equally — not just the few who fit a favored profile."

What message are we sending when Afghan allies, Venezuelan dissidents and Rohingya genocide survivors are pushed aside while others leap the line? My new @MSNBC op-ed on the WH’s record-low refugee cap — an attempt to redefine who’s worthy of protection. https://t.co/1bw8qJ0NU5

This government shutdown is now officially the longest in U.S. history. Despite claims to the contrary, it’s not about “free healthcare for undocumented immigrants.” That’s just not how the law works — and it’s time to get the facts straight.

Afghan women’s rights activists. Venezuelan dissidents. Congolese families. Persecuted religious minorities. These are just a few of the vulnerable populations who will be left in harm’s way by the record-low refugee cap. My thanks to CNN for this important conversation. 👇

Tune into @TheWorld on your local NPR station tonight for an important conversation about drastic changes to the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, featuring @KrishVignarajah of @GlobalRefuge.

From thoughtful discussions on faith partnerships to packing Neighbor Kits for new neighbors, our Board gathered in Baltimore with hearts for service. Grateful for leaders who make compassion our compass.

.@KrishVignarajah, President and CEO of @GlobalRefuge, slams the record-low refugee cap in The New York Times 👇

BREAKING: Just 7,500 refugees will be admitted to the U.S. this fiscal year, most of whom will likely be Afrikaners from South Africa. This decision doesn’t just lower the refugee admissions ceiling. It lowers our moral standing. https://t.co/5ee8lbZxRk 🧵1/

🚨 BREAKING: The Trump administration is formally announcing a refugee admissions ceiling of just 7,500 people for FY 26 — the lowest in U.S. history — while primarily using those limited slots for Afrikaners from South Africa. 📰 Full statement: https://t.co/YXLythoRAw

Offering refuge is an act of faith — faith in people, in second chances, and in our shared humanity. That faith has shaped America’s story for generations, and turning away from it now would be a betrayal of both our history and our hope. 6/6 https://t.co/5ee8lbZxRk

Refugee families are ready to rebuild their lives and give back to their new communities. But without a fair chance at protection and a consistent baseline of initial assistance, we risk creating a system that fails both those seeking refuge and the nation that promised it. 5/

Even for those able to arrive, federal support has been significantly weakened. The OBBBA eliminated refugee access to key programs like SNAP, Medicaid, and CHIP — ending decades of guaranteed access to food and health coverage for lawfully-admitted refugees. 4/
