The article highlights the plight of Afghan refugees who were promised resettlement by the U.S. after the Taliban's resurgence. Many families are in limbo, grappling with trauma and anxiety, especially among vulnerable populations such as women, children, and LGBTQ+ individuals. Criticism arises from former officials regarding the vetting process for refugees, while many Afghans wait in third countries, risking separation from loved ones. With policy shifts threatening their statuses, hope for a stable future diminishes for these individuals who've been awaiting immigration resolutions.
You're living in a limbo. There is a sense of trauma. There is a sense of anxiety. Mental health is to the next level.
Bad actors are taking advantage of this humanitarian program.
Many who fled Afghanistan waited for years in third countries... as U.S. immigration authorities adjudicated their claims.
Hundreds of thousands of people... now presumably have no hope of reuniting with family members in the U.S.
