Impact of Trump's Immigration Policies on Afghan Allies

President Trump's suspension of the refugee program had immediate and profound effects on Afghan individuals who had worked with American forces. These individuals, including activists like Soraya, faced life-threatening risks from the Taliban, who targeted them for their association with Western ideologies. Many, previously assured asylum, now find themselves trapped in limbo, with no clear path to safety, and are subjected to the harsh realities of their current situations in neighboring countries like Pakistan. Activists and members of organizations like Afghan Ivaq emphasize the urgency of the situation, calling for policies to protect these wartime allies whose lives are in jeopardy as a result of U.S. decisions.
