As someone who came to the US as a refugee with political asylum I can't overstate how cruel this is. I was already terrified and had nightmares every day. And here they're telling you that you didn't get to safety after all that, that they will reverse your status on a whim, if they deem it safe for you to return. As Warsan Shire wrote, no one leaves home unless home becomes the mouth of a shark.

It’s really weird about this, is from across the pond, it seems like all the very worst immigration policy has been given a southeast Asian face.

It’s hard not to pause for a second and think that they’re putting people who are willing to do this stuff there because of their skin tone to cause everybody to think well it can’t be that bad
