I am never on here anymore, really mostly Instagram and TT, but this is worth it to come back on here for. Shut the camp down. #heavens27
I sent the following letter to @TexasDSHS urging them not to issue a 2026 camping license to Camp Mystic.View quoted post on X
Later this spring, the Texas Senate will hold a joint investigative hearing with the Texas House on the 27 little girls who died in Camp Mystic’s custody last summer. #txlege
Best explanation I’ve seen of the process
Per Afghan Evac @afghanevacView quoted post on X
A non-profit that works with Afghan SIVs
Regarding Rahmanullah Lakanwal, alleged shooter of two National Guard in DC.
•He previously served in NDS-03, one of Afghanistan’s elite counterterrorism units operated by the CIA with direct U.S. intelligence and military support.
Entry to the United States
•The individual was evacuated by the U.S. military in August 2021 following the fall of Kabul.
•He arrived under humanitarian parole, the temporary authority used to evacuate tens of thousands of American citizens, lawful permanent residents, SIV applicants, and at-risk Afghan partners.
•He was later granted asylum in April 2025.
Immigration Pathway
•He had an active SIV application underway and had received Chief of Mission (COM) approval but had not yet been granted lawful permanent residence.
•Instead, he applied for asylum during the Biden administration, but his asylum was approved under the Trump administration.
•Both his Chief of Mission application and his asylum application required review and vetting by the U.S. government, including the CIA.
•Asylum is a permanent status granted by USCIS after reviewing: identity and background checks
◦biometric vetting,
◦in-person interviews,
◦an assessment of individualized risk and eligibility under U.S. law.
•Asylees can apply for lawful permanent residence one year after being granted asylum.
