Contact Congress on harmful USCIS refugee detention policy memo USCIS is planning detention and reinterviews for refugees already here

ACTION ALERT: Speak out against detention and reinterviews for lawfully admitted refugees. 🚨

This policy would cause enormous harm: tearing families apart, costing people their jobs, re-traumatizing survivors of violence, and trapping refugees in detention.
