new policy from the Homeland Security Department says immigrants who came to the US as refugees could be detained if they do not have their green cards within a year of arriving refugees are already required to apply for green cards. But this new policy makes not having the green card a reason for deportation and states that refugees may be placed in detention while their applications are being reviewed. Refugee resettlement groups estimate thousands could could be affected, mostly those who entered under the Biden administration.

In an email to NPR, ByteDance said it respects intellectual property rights and is taking steps to strengthen current safeguards, but did not say how. Chloe veltman, NPR News.
