Secretary Chertoff of the Department of Homeland Security issued a memo on April 27 allowing for a waiver of the statutory bars to immigration for individuals who have provided “material support” for terrorism (as defined by the INA) in cases where the individual provided such support under duress and poses no threat to the security of the United States.  This is a much needed, common sense waiver that Congress.

You can find a link to the memo on the Bender’s Immigration Bulletin site.  The link is here.
