November 12, 2026
The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) and Catholic Charities USA (CCUSA) commented on an interim final rule from the Department of Homeland Security that took effect on October 14, 2026, and removed the 30-day refugee termination notice. The USCCB and CCUSA are concerned that the rule will reduce due process and inflict unnecessary hardship on families.
