Surayya's planned relocation to the U.S. was thwarted by President Trump's pause on the Refugee Admissions Program, heightening her fears of returning to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Previously involved in women's rights initiatives with the U.S. Embassy, she fled to Pakistan with her children and was approved for resettlement before the cancellation. The situation is dire for many Afghans, especially those who assisted U.S. forces, with ongoing uncertainty surrounding their admissions despite some case-by-case provisions under the suspension, affecting thousands of lives.
Surayya's flight to the United States was canceled after Trump paused the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program, leaving her future and safety uncertain.
Over 40,000 Afghans are still pursuing resettlement in the U.S., while many remain in dangerous situations back in Afghanistan.
