"Saman and Farhad, both in their mid-20s, served in the Afghan special forces and were granted priority status in the U.S. refugee program due to their association with the American war in Afghanistan."
"The couple is living in constant fear of deportation in Islamabad, as stepping foot in Afghanistan would lead to their identification as enemies of the Taliban, risking imprisonment and execution."
An Afghan family, Saman and Farhad, along with their two children, live in hiding in Islamabad after fleeing Afghanistan. They served in the Afghan special forces and were granted priority refugee status in the U.S. due to their association with the American military and their ethnic minority status. However, new policies under the Trump administration barred their resettlement, leaving them vulnerable to deportation and persecution. Their biometric data would identify them as enemies in Afghanistan, risking imprisonment or execution if they return.
