President Trump's recent executive order halting refugee admissions to the United States poses significant risks to Afghan citizens who supported U.S. efforts during the Afghanistan war. According to Shawn VanDiver from AfghanEvac, this decision could jeopardize the lives of many Afghans currently in hiding from the Taliban, including the family members of active-duty U.S. troops. The order, which raises concerns about the U.S.'s commitment to human rights and its pledge to protect loyal allies, does not state when the suspension might be lifted, creating uncertainty for those seeking refuge.
The order risks abandoning thousands of Afghan wartime allies who stood alongside U.S. service members during two decades of conflict, according to AfghanEvac president Shawn VanDiver.
Mr. Trump's order, titled Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program, does not specify when the suspension will end, stating that it will continue until further entry aligns with U.S. interests.
