Minnesota immigrant advocate organizations have noticed a growing number of cases in which the federal government is trying to revoke the refugee status of some people who have already been admitted — in some cases, years ago. First reported by Sahan Journal, it's a continuation of Operation PARRIS, a federal operation claiming to target fraud in the refugee program.
Joining Minnesota Now to explain why and how some of Minnesota's refugees are experiencing this is Rachel Kohler. She's the immigration services supervising attorney at the International Institute of Minnesota.
