Security Bars and Processing
A Proposed Rule by the U.S. Homeland Security Department and the Executive Office for Immigration Review on July 9, 2020.

Contrary to the recommendations of medical experts, the administration has proposed a regulation barring asylum seekers to the United States based on dubious public health claims which will block refugees facing persecution. Please send in your comments, so that your objections can be heard on the public record.
