The State Department has suspended flights bringing previously approved refugees to the United States, cutting off access to protection in advance of the timeline set by President Trump in a new order pausing the program.
An email reviewed Wednesday by The Associated Press, the U.S. agency overseeing refugee processing and arrival told staff and stakeholders that “refugee arrival to the United States have been suspended until further notice.”
The suspension of flights indicates early action on an order that didn’t direct movement from agencies until Jan. 27.
The State Department did not return a request for comment, but a page on refugee admissions was already unavailable.
A Day 1 order from Trump pauses the refugee program for a minimum of three months, calling for the departments of State and of Homeland Security to issue a report within 90 days detailing whether it’s in the nation’s interests to resume the admission of refugees.

Refugee flights to US = Insanity anyway
“approved refugees”
Approved by whom??? That POS mayorakas who i hope is in hiding for fear of imprisonment??
I know a NY fireman that saw the airport take in flights of illegals after midnight and bus them all out before the am rush so people didn’t notice

Approved by whom???

0bama and Tehran
They have a right to apply for a refugee status at the American embassy in their own country, after which American immigration jurists in America will investigate and consider the application. They don’t get to come here and pretend to wait for their immigration hearing, knowing once here they will just ignore that and stay here illegally.
Thank God!
“Refugee flights to US = Insanity anyway”
No kidding. There should be a ONE YEAR moratorium on “refugee flights” as well as all interior flights hauling illegals to every corner of the nation under cover of darkness.
“There should be a ONE YEAR moratorium on “refugee flights” “
Nope. Just cancel them forever. We have no obligation to do anything like that except in a declared emergency with associated evacuation that can be authorized on a case-by-case basis.
That’s been happening here as well. Late night, small town, long runway with no commercial planes.
I agree with Regulator on this. They should be cancelled for good, never to occur ever again.
If we need focused refugee flights (such as we should have had for Afghans who put their lives on the line and worked with us, and who were DIRECTLY vetted by Americans who had worked with them in country) we could initiate the process specifically for them.
It is an abomination and a traitorous attack on the sovereignty of this nation that those flights were EVER taking place under the cover of darkness and a shroud of deception.
I agree with you both that these secret, cover of darkness flights to the interior of the USA are an abomination, an affront to the nation, and should are ended permanently. I was thinking an immediate one year moratorium would allow for planning for a permanent elimination of the program.
But Trump might only have a two-year runway to get things done and burning up a whole year of that would be bad. He has them knocked back on their heels now and should continue going for broke.
Hey. Welcome to ‘Merica. Its a big government. Sometimes stupid stuff happens and there is just no recourse.
Absolutely. Hold their heads underwater, don’t let them up to breathe!
(I understand the distinction you make)
They just need to operate in the opposite direction.
