COMPLAINT FOR DECLARATORY AND INJUNCTIVE RELIEF Case 1:21-cv-01697-TSC Document 1 Filed 06/25/21 Page 2 of 19 INTRODUCTION 1. In 2009, Congress enacted the Afghan Allies Protection Act to enable certain Afghan nationals who worked on behalf of the U.S. government in Afghanistan to immigrate to the United States with their families through a special pathway commonly known as the Afghan special immigrant visa (or “SIV”) program. In the years since, as Afghans have continued to support the United States at great personal risk, Congress has directed the Executive branch to facilitate the immigration to the United States of thousands of Afghan allies and created additional procedural protections for applicants. The Executive’s administration of the program, however, has undercut the Act’s promise: violating the Act and other federal law, the Executive has prevented deserving applicants like Plaintiff from pursuing their cases. 2.

  • Pro-Life Hypocrisy on COVID-19 “ ” Summary
    Pro-Life Hypocrisy on COVID-19 “ ” Summary Amidst the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, anti-choice political leaders have made it crystal clear that they don’t value people’s lives. As NARAL has previously documented, self-styled pro-life politicians and pundits have largely ignored the threat of the virus and failed to “ ” work towards solutions that could protect public health – instead, choosing to capitalize on the crisis to attack abortion access. Now, against experts’ recommendations, these so-called pro-life politicians and pundits “ ” have criticized and defied stay-at-home orders in states across the country. Their latest messaging on the COVID-19 crisis falls into six main themes: ● Prioritizing the Economy Over Public Safety ● Promoting/Attending Anti-Quarantine Protests ● Attacking Social Distancing Orders ● Attacking Health Authorities ● Discouraging / Not Wearing PPE ● Dismissing COVID Death Toll If these anti-choice extremists truly valued people’s lives as they claim, they wouldn’t be telling them to put themselves in unsafe situations during a pandemic. There’s nothing pro-life about deliberately putting people’s health and safety at risk. “ ” Contents Prioritizing the Economy Over Public Safety Gov. Greg Abbott (TX) Glenn Beck Former Gov.
