More than 400 “refugees”, mostly Muslim, admitted to U.S. since mid-March
Two reports from Refugee Resettlement Watch on the continued importation of 3rd world “refugees” - some rejected by other countries due to their terror risk.
From the first report: 
Nearly 400 Refugees Arrive in US During Supposed VIRUS Moratorium
This morning I checked the data base at the Refugee Processing Center and was surprised to see that since the moratorium was announced in the middle of March we admitted 382 refugees.
134 of those came between May first and today, June first.  79 of the 134 are Muslims (THERE IS NO MUSLIM BAN).
There has been no official word that the travel restrictions have been lifted, or none I have seen I should say.
The top sending countries for May were Burma (22), Iran (18), Pakistan (16), Sudan (14) and Syria (14).   21 of the Burmese are Rohingya Muslims.
Of the 18 Iranians, only 2 are Muslim. Of the 16 Pakistanis, 11 are Muslims and all of the Sudanese and Syrians are Muslims.  6 Somali Muslims were ‘welcomed’ too.
Here (below) is a map where the 382 refugees, who have been admitted since we supposedly weren’t admitting refugees, were placed.
I’ve never seen Idaho in the top ten ‘welcoming’ states, but at the moment it is 5th.

 I know the print is small so here are the top ten states which are adding refugees to their already COVID-stressed communities.
Texas (is always number one!)
Massachusetts
Illinois
North Carolina
Idaho
Maryland
New York
Georgia
Tennessee
Utah
As for the Special Immigrant Visas from Afghanistan, I see that we admitted only 40 in the months of April and May when the number for March was 1,594.  After admitting 67,731 since 2007, is it possible we now have ‘rescued’ them all?

From the second report on what Trump called Obama’s “dumb deal” yet he still keeps importing sick, terror-linked Muslims rejected by Australia:
Dozens of refugees flown from Australia and PNG to US despite coronavirus travel bans
Tumblr media
Dozens of refugees who have spent years in Australia’s offshore processing regime have been flown to the United States for resettlement, despite COVID-19 travel restrictions. Transfers from Papua New Guinea and Australian immigration detention centres under the US resettlement program are continuing as the US struggles to contain the pandemic that has killed more than 93,000 people there. Thirty-five refugees departed Port Moresby on Thursday morning bound for the US via Singapore, and one refugee is due to fly to Finland, according to sources and documents obtained by SBS News. A handful also departed Australia for the US this week, including several from the Kangaroo Point hotel being used as an “alternative place of detention” (APOD) in Brisbane and from community detention in Melbourne. Sudanese refugee Omar Muhammed Jack farewelled Australia in a social media post. “Finally after 7 dark years, I'm leaving to USA today,” he posted before boarding the flight in Port Moresby. Omar Muhammed Jack is one of dozens of refugees resettled in the US this week. “I’m going to be free forever and it's amazing and exciting for me but still the happiness (is) incomplete because as long (as) many innocent refugees and asylum seekers (remain) in unlawful indefinite detention for 7 years in offshore and onshore. “To all beloved brothers and sisters in Australia… allow me to thank you for all your efforts and support for the last 7 years.” The men are due to arrive in Los Angeles and then be resettled in 18 cities across the US. A network of Australians in the US called Ads-Up For Refugees has been preparing for their arrival and fundraising to support their resettlement with the added complication of the coronavirus pandemic. “It’s an absolutely brutal time to be arriving in America," Ben Winsor, co-founder of Ads-Up, told SBS News. "These guys are landing with barely more than the clothes on their backs and they’ll be looking for work alongside millions of recently unemployed Americans. "Since COVID-19 hit, more than 100 refugees reached out to us for help, they’ve lost jobs and are struggling to pay rent and for basic supplies. "Refugee resettlement agencies were already overstretched and providing only very basic support, now they’re at breaking point."  Many of the refugees have underlying health conditions after years of detention and medical neglect on Manus Island and Nauru. "Their condition puts them at higher risk from COVID-19," Mr Winsor said. "We are in daily contact with two refugees in Texas who have contracted COVID-19." On Tuesday, a number of refugees in Port Moresby celebrated their imminent resettlement under the Australian-US scheme with priest Giorgio Licini, the general secretary of the Catholic Bishops Conference of Papua New Guinea & Solomon Islands. “They were relaxed but had mixed feelings, especially that there are still some left behind, many are those who were never given refugees status and could not go home,” Father Giorgio said. “We understand that somehow the Australian government wants to finish the US option, they should finish this thing as soon as possible, it makes no sense to prolong this agony.” Father Giorgio said the men did not undergo coronavirus isolation in preparation for their departure. ...
In Senate estimates in March, the Home Affairs Department said 702 refugees had been resettled in the US under the agreement reached by then Australian prime minister Malcolm Turnbull and US president Barack Obama in 2016. Under the deal, up to 1,250 refugees who were in offshore processing on Manus Island and Nauru could be resettled in the US at its discretion after clearing “extreme vetting” procedures. The department said a further 260 were approved but had not yet departed, and some were transferred to Australia under the now-repealed medevac laws for medical treatment. Home Affairs told the Senate committee that 211 refugees and asylum seekers remained on Nauru, 228 in Papua New Guinea, and about 1,220, including their dependents, were in Australia to receive medical treatment. Officials said the US aimed to finalise interviewing candidates by “mid-year”.
