.........AfghanEvac founder Shawn VanDiver called these check-ins deeply troubling, pointing out that lawyers and advocates are not as accessible during federal holidays and federal courts are closed.

"ICE is trying to ruin Christmas," "We don't think that they are going to be doing interviews on those federal holidays. What we think is happening is they're trying to circumvent the protection mechanisms like legal resources and federal judges and advocacy resources to cause problems for our wartime allies and cause fear and discontent."
