Afghans who fled the Taliban's takeover are urging President Trump to reverse the suspension of the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP), which affects around 15,000 individuals in Pakistan. These individuals risked their lives working with U.S. forces, and the suspension leaves them vulnerable to Taliban reprisal. The advocacy group Afghan USRAP Refugees has highlighted the dangers of returning to Afghanistan and the precarious situation in Pakistan, where they face potential arrest and deportation. They have called for a review of the suspension, stressing their urgent need for safety in the U.S.
"Many of us risked our lives to support the US mission as interpreters, contractors, human rights defenders, and allies. The Taliban regards us as traitors."
"The dangerous conditions they face in Pakistan, including the risk of arbitrary arrests and deportations, have led us to plead for a reversal of this suspension."
