Immigration and National Security
The Biden administration is looking to close a loophole in immigration proceedings that allowed a man on the terrorist watchlist to roam free in the U.S. for over a year. This change comes after a 2004 directive was overridden by Department of Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas, making it easier for officials to share classified information in immigration cases.
