THE FORUM DAILY

Welcome to an abbreviated edition of The Forum Daily. We’ll be bringing you just the headlines today through Wednesday because of other staff commitments. As always, please send stories for consideration to [email protected]. The great Forum Daily team includes Jillian Clark, Soledad Gassó Parker, Dan Gordon, Broc Murphy, Clara Villatoro and Becka Wall. 

Our subject line refers to the jarring news that refugee resettlement agencies have been ordered to stop assisting refugees who have already arrived in the United States, as Priscilla Alvarez reports for CNN. "The goal is self-sufficiency," an immigration attorney says. "You’re diminishing peoples access to services that help them become self-sufficient."
