In reply to NEW: Biden will sign an order

My understanding (not a defense but an explanation) of the refugee cap situation is that Dara's point here is key.

Raising the cap *this year* was not what the Biden campaign committed to, it surprisingly emerged in the early days of his administration.

Well Biden won't say this publicly but he feels that the flurry of immigration announcements made at the beginning of his administration went awry.

The people who advised that course of action burned their credibility, and the switch in refugee policy burned with it.

It's not so much that there's a logical relationship between the two issues as that it all came out of the same transition portfolio, Biden feels that portfolio was mishandled, so now it's back to his earlier policy commitment.

NEW: Biden will sign an order today to keep the number of refugee admissions this year at the historically low figure set by the Trump administration, walking back a campaign promise to raise the cap, a senior administration official confirmed to Axios. https://t.co/RMkPYkrl0A

Portland again. Trump or Biden, all the same to them. Looks like the plan is: attack federal ICE facility in Portland the same way every night for the rest of their lives?

Last night at Portland's ICE HQ around 100 protesters gathered outside the building with chants of "What's outrageous? Kids in cages!".

The anti-ICE protesters built a fire to block the HQ's main entrance and set plywood, built to protect the building from protests, ablaze.

DHS officers responded after the plywood caught fire and pushed protesters back with pepperball rounds. Firefighters put out the flames at the building while officers kept the crowd back, occasionally firing pepperballs at protesters feet and threatening to use pepper spray.

DHS officers retreated back into the building as protesters yelled "Move back!". The damaged plywood was then ripped from the building and a glass door at the ICE HQ was shattered.
The crowd began dispersing after this.

There were no arrests.

Video coverage tomorrow.

The administration is projecting it will need more than 35,500 beds for migrant children and teenagers by the end of May, according to internal government documents.

as Everett warned above in his tweet, there are now 18 GOP Senators at the border giving press conferences:

It’s always frustrating to me that Democrats aren’t more imaginative and theatrical in terms of their efforts to drive attention to issues that they think they have the upper hand on.

This a dumb stunt, yes, but sometimes that’s what it takes https://t.co/N3PjBaPzlY

and then there's Senator Daines doing his best Trump imitation on home turf:
