Times . This targeting of war-ravaged, refugee-generating countries would be a radical departure from four decades of bipartisan Washington leadership in the absorption and resettlement of refugees.

The draft, titled "Detention and Interrogation of Enemy Combatants," copies of which were obtained by the Associated Press and the Washington Post , would revoke former President Barack Obama's decision to ban torture techniques and end the CIA program that allowed "interrogation of high-value alien terrorists to be operated outside the United States."
