Sometimes the hardest decisions are made with the stroke of a pen, thousands of miles away from the lives they'll shatter. Al Jazeera reports that Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem has ended protected status for Yemeni families who've called America home for a decade, forcing them back to a country still torn apart by war. This is "No Safe Harbor" — a song about what happens when sanctuary disappears.

Kristi Noem signed the papers today
Homeland Security made the call
Yemeni families must pack and go
Though their homeland's still at war
Ten years of shelter, now it's done
Protected status torn away
She says it's safe to return home
But bombs still fall in Yemen's clay
No safe harbor, nowhere to run
When the powerful say you're done
Asylum seekers left to roam
Forced back to a war-torn home
No safe harbor anymore
Refugees who built their lives here
Children born on foreign ground
Must leave the only peace they've known
For a nation war has drowned
The Secretary made her choice
Determined safety from afar
While Yemeni mothers weep tonight
Beneath democracy's cold star
