EXCLUSIVE: The Trump administration is considering imposing entry restrictions at the US-Mexico border to control the spread of the coronavirus in the United States, according to two DHS officials reuters.com/article/china-…
The concern over containing the virus at the southern U.S. border comes as the Trump administration also weighs possible restrictions on the entry of travelers from South Korea, Italy and Japan
The White House on Friday ordered the DHS to draft a range of options to respond to outbreaks in those countries, according to officials. Trump tweeted today that he will hold a press conference at 1:30 pm EST to discuss coronavirus developments.
The discussions over possible border restrictions remain in the preliminary phase, but the DHS has considered increased screening of people from certain countries based on that country’s medical capacity and volume of travelers to the US, according to one of the officials

EXCLUSIVE w/ @micarosenberg: Federal inspections found serious health care lapses found in a US detention center housing transgender migrants in New Mexico reuters.com/article/us-usa…
Among the problems were hundreds of unanswered requests for medical attention, poor quarantine procedures and deficient treatment for mental illnesses and other chronic diseases. As a result, all of the transgender detainees were transferred to other facilities in January.
An ICE spokeswoman confirmed that a Dec. 2019 report by the ICE health corps found “several health care-related deficiencies” at the center, such as failing to complete laboratory orders or arrange for HIV patients to see infectious disease specialists within 30 days of arrival.

Trump’s refugee admissions in the coming year could fall even further than the all-time low of 18,000 his admin proposed last month. The reason: heightened vetting, a lack of political will, new hard-to-fill carveouts, and a freeze on refugee interviews politico.com/news/2019/10/1…
“He’s basically trying to eviscerate and totally destroy the program,” said Kerri Talbot, director of federal advocacy for the pro-migrant Immigration Hub. “Their ultimate goal is just to decrease legal immigration into the United States, including refugees.”
The Trump administration set aside 4,000 refugee spaces for Iraqis who aided U.S. forces in their plan for the coming year. But last year, the U.S. only accepted 465 total Iraqi refugees, a slowdown caused by increased vetting and a lack of political will

Follow this thread for highlights from the (sure to be remarkable) speech by Secretary of State Rex Tillerson on the Trump administration’s Syria strategy:
"The nature of the Assad regime, like that of its sponsor Iran, is malignant. It has promoted state terror. It has empowered groups that kill American soldiers, such as al-Qaeda in Iraq"
"The story of Syria has been one of humanitarian catastrophe. Up to half a million Syrians have died. Over 5.4m Syrians are refugees, and 6.1m are internally displaced persons as a result of conflict between regime and opposition forces. Whole cities have been destroyed."
