Even those casually following immigration are likely aware of the active role Trump's attorneys general played.
This participation entailed unprecedented use of "referral & review"... a power with a problematic & twisted journey beyond Trump...

The power helped the attorney general to manage this system - knitting adjudications, rulemaking, & other decisions into one coherent immigration policy framework.
Allowing the attorney general—the country’s chief law enforcement officer—to intercede in individual immigration cases has raised questions about the true independence of the immigration adjudication system.
Under the government restructuring following the 9/11 terrorist attacks, most of the immigration system was moved out of the Justice Department.
The attorney general was left with the immigration court system and...referral & review.
It became their tool to affect policy.
These decisions even bind DHS, now the lead agency on immigration.
With the Trump administration's aggressive immigration agenda & strategy of pursuing a wide range of administrative tools, attorneys general under Trump self-refer more decisions than under any prior administration.
This compares to 4 during the entirety of the Obama
administration and 10 under George W. Bush (both administrations that lasted two terms rather than one).
Given its speed and flexibility, referral & review could be a huge help.
A mandatory process requiring transparency & briefing could be an important step in the right direction.

Has this man been concealing his true identity?
Is this man a supposed 'dead' Seal Team Six soldier?
Witness protection to be kept safe until the right moment when all will be revealed?!
Who ELSE is alive that may have faked their death/gone into witness protection?
Were "golden tickets" inside the envelopes??
Are these "golden tickets" going to lead to their ultimate undoing?

The Government's strategy at the beginning of the pandemic was to 'cocoon' the vulnerable (e.g. those in care homes). This was a 'herd immunity' strategy. This interview is from

This strategy failed. It is impossible to 'cocoon' the vulnerable, as Covid is passed from younger people to older, more vulnerable people.
We can see this playing out through heatmaps. e.g. these heatmaps from the second
Here are the heatmaps for Covid detected cases, positivity, hospitalizations, and ICU admissions. This is for the week to 3 January 2021.

The Government then decided to change its strategy to 'preventing a second wave that overwhelms the NHS'. This was announced on 8 June in Parliament.
This is not the same as 'preventing a second wave'.

In the first skandh, the importance of Vedvyas
and characters of Pandavas are described by the dialogues between Suutji and Shaunakji. Then there is the story of Parikshit.
Next there is a Brahm Narad dialogue describing the avtaar of Bhagwan. Then the characteristics of Puraan are mentioned.
It also discusses the evolution of universe.( https://t.co/2aK1AZSC79 )
Next is the portrayal of Vidur and his dialogue with Maitreyji. Then there is a mention of Creation of universe by Brahma and the preachings of Sankhya by Kapil Muni.
