CRCL Supports Operation Allies Welcome CRCL has continued to support Operation Allies Welcome (OAW), the government-wide effort to support and resettle vulnerable Afghans across the United States. Last week, OAW announced the resettlement of the last group of Afghan nationals from Fort Lee, Virginia, the first of eight Department of Defense (DOD) installations established to temporarily house vulnerable Afghans. To date, more than 25,000 Afghan evacuees have been resettled in communities across our country. These resettlement efforts are led by the Department of State in close coordination with more than 200 local resettlement affiliates across the country. Since OAW's inception, CRCL has been involved in efforts to ensure the integration of civil rights and civil liberties protections into OAW's operational phases. Several CRCL staff members have joined the OAW workforce through work details, while many other employees have visited base installations, developed technical support and resource materials, and contributed to developing guidance and plans to protect vulnerable populations throughout resettlement operations.

DHS Updates NTAS Bulletin | DHS has issued an updated National Terrorism Advisory System (NTAS) Bulletin regarding the current heightened threat environment across the United States. The Homeland continues to face a diverse and challenging threat environment as it approaches several religious holidays and associated mass gatherings that in the past have served as potential targets for acts of violence. These threats include those posed by individuals and small groups engaged in violence, including domestic violent extremists (DVEs) and those inspired or motivated by foreign terrorists and other malign foreign influences. These actors continue to exploit online forums to influence and spread violent extremist narratives and promote violent activity. The ongoing global pandemic continues to exacerbate these threats, in part due to perceived government overreach in implementation of public health safety measures. | Read more...
