In the military “stop loss” meant they could keep personnel beyond their commitments until such time as the “crisis” passed.

I’m guessing they have had so many people trying to get out of dodge that they are saying “hold your horses, we’ve got critical ops to run”.

Using it as an excuse to retain those who might otherwise vanish. Plus it’s only been discussed for the CIA not for any other agency. Option 2, as discussed, is they are taking so many into custody that they can’t afford to lose more.

Far as I know the Stop Loss entered on the military services after 9-11 was lifted and there isn’t one active now.

The services can, and do, use limited "stop loss" orders for critical specialties.
