Strategy Chief Kathy Nuebel Kovarik Wants To Kick Desperately Ill People Out Of THe Country [View all]

USCIS Policy and Strategy Chief Kathy Nuebel Kovarik
Trump official urges end to medical exemption for deportations

“The Trump administration in August quietly halted its processing of such requests, which are known as "deferred action." Democrats and activists argued that the move put vulnerable people at risk of deportation and possibly even death.

The memo, obtained by POLITICO, clarifies that the agency would prefer to see its authority removed altogether to grant relief from deportation in such cases.

In the memo, USCIS Policy and Strategy Chief Kathy Nuebel Kovarik lays out six options for acting Homeland Security Secretary Kevin McAleenan to take. These range from removing the agency’s deferred action authority to reverting to the earlier status quo.

Nuebel Kovarik writes that USCIS would prefer that McAleenan revoke the agency’s authority to grant deferred action unless required to do so by statute — a change that would eliminate any possibility of its honoring such humanitarian requests in the future. If McAleenan doesn’t take that route, she says, the agency recommends that he maintain the current freeze on processing deferred action requests.”
