"An estimated 200 family members of U.S. troops are in Afghanistan and attempting to flee the Taliban through the U.S. Refugees Admissions Program, or USRAP, said Shawn VanDiver, president of AfghanEvac, an organization that helps Afghan allies relocate.
Trump suspended that program under the order, "Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program," which he signed his first day in office.
"They feel betrayed, they feel let down," VanDiver said of the troops trying to get their families into the country.
Under President Joe Biden's administration, a special exemption was made for families of U.S. service members to enter the country through the refugee program.
The stated reason for the order was that the influx of immigration into the U.S. has strained states' resources. The suspension of the program goes into effect Jan. 27."

For those of you MAGA vainly attempting to paint Donald's first week as some sort of triumph----
Here's yet another example of him behaving like a nasty, orange clown.

Are they White?
Musk has determined white people too stupid and lazy to be of any use in the future.
Happy extinction.
