    As with last time this happened — https://www.buzzfeed.com/chrisgeidner/jeff-sessions-cuts-25-guidance-documents-including-some … — DOJ has made it very difficult for people, including journalists, to figure out exactly what has been withdrawn and whether any subsequent documents or policies are controlling.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1014238756491153408 …

        Chris Geidner Retweeted Zoe Tillman

        Weird. @TheJusticeDept putting out a vague news release with incomplete information — leaving reporters to search around for random links to find out what DOJ is actually doing — leads to confusion.https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1014291773944926209 …

        Chris Geidner added,

        Zoe TillmanVerified account @ZoeTillman
        Update: DOJ says there is still guidance from 2017 about refugee and asylee rights to work. The 2011 guidance was withdrawn to avoid confusion, DOJ says. So this is sort of about getting rid of rules, but also sort of about housecleaning https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-is-withdrawing-obama-era?utm_term=.kkjKLlLMr#.ja481Z1KJ …

        Chris Geidner Retweeted Zoe Tillman

        This is ridiculous. DOJ put out a statement announcing that they were rescinding 24 guidance documents. Now they're like, "Well, by 'rescinded,' we just meant there was a more updated version already in place for some of these."https://twitter.com/ZoeTillman/status/1014298273836883969 …

        Another update: A 2006 doc titled "Federal Protections Against National Origin Discrimination" was on Sessions withdrawal list -- DOJ says a 2011 version remains operative (the Sessions announcement did not include info about why each doc was withdrawn) https://www.buzzfeed.com/zoetillman/attorney-general-jeff-sessions-is-withdrawing-obama-era?utm_term=.kkjKLlLMr#.ja481Z1KJ …

        It's beginning to read to me like Sessions or someone high up at DOJ told them that they needed a second set of withdrawn guidance, and so people tried to figure out how they could get the number bigger to look like they were doing more.

        Replying to @chrisgeidner

        With the date error listed on number 16 (March 1, 20011), does that affect the ability to rescind it?

        No. This is a news release, not the law.
