Our Afghan allies fought and died with American troops. Now the Trump admin is preparing to send them and their families back to be persecuted or killed by the Taliban. This is disgraceful and goes against everything America stands for.
Breaking News: The Trump administration has detained dozens of Afghan immigrants in Louisiana — including relatives of those who helped the U.S. military — and plans to deport them to Afghanistan, according to U.S. officials. nyti.ms/4jPVvrw

Please, don’t stop the pressure now! Keep calling your representative’s offices!!! If you don’t get through, please leave a message. The people on this flight include Allies, relatives of Afghans who served alongside U.S. troops, women, religious converts, & members of persecuted minorities who face imprisonment, torture, or death under the Taliban. Link: afghanevac.org/stop-the-flig… #StopTheFlight
66 members of Congress, from both chambers, to Secretaries Rubio and Mullin: cancel the deportation flight. Don’t hand the people who stood with our troops to the Taliban, directly or through Pakistan. Thank you, @RepScottPeters, for leading. #StopTheFlight

We have a loved one scheduled to be on this flight. He will be killed if he’s returned to the Taliban. He supported the US mission in Afghanistan. He has broken no laws. He came here legally. Seeking asylum should not be a death sentence. #ICE #Immigration #Asylum #Afghanistan

We know people on this flight. They are good people, not criminals. No one deserves what awaits them if they are forcibly returned to Afghanistan. Please help us stop this flight! Seeking asylum should not be a death sentence!
As soon as Monday, the U.S. plans to fly 150+ Afghans from Louisiana to Pakistan and on to Afghanistan. Many are relatives of those who served with our troops. Call and write Congress and the White House today. Stop this flight. afghanevac.org/stop-the-flig…

The New York Times just put a name and a face on what the travel ban does to Afghan families. The Tahiris are not a hypothetical. They are what this policy looks like up close. Watch. Share. Then keep going. #StillWithUs #AfghanEvac nytimes.com/video/world/midd…

We are deeply alarmed by reports that the Trump Administration plans to deport Afghan and Iranian nationals to the Central African Republic tomorrow. Third-country removals raise serious due process and humanitarian concerns. We urge immediate action to halt these transfers.

Please share widely with your representatives across the U.S.: there’s policy being proposed that aims to create specific immigration pathways for Afghan women and girls (only) to study in the USA. We need to push this through - and it’s definitely a bi-partisan issue.
Replying to @SaraWahedi
One more reason to give them every opportunity. Please encourage every American to contact their representatives about this. The draft resolution is on every senators desk with some interested in sponsoring it:

I am grateful that my bill, the Rejecting the Erasure of Afghan Women and Girls Act, passed @HouseForeign with bipartisan support. It was an honor to share this moment with Afghan girls who are pursuing the education they were denied by the Taliban here in the U.S.

Always consult a lawyer before you schedule any visa interviews. They may recommend you reschedule until the travel ban is lifted or the situation changes.

🚨 Visa interviews are a trap for Afghans. In court this afternoon, @StatePRM A/S Veprek said that all applicants would be denied and likely have to completely restart their visa process if the travel ban is ever lifted. @StateDept does not tell applicants they’ll be denied.

Let’s stick to the facts. Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal: • evacuated by the U.S. government in 2021 • father of six children • living in Texas with a pending asylum case He died less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody. The cause of death is still under investigation.

For years, the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan have been steadily eroded by the Taliban. Now, that repression is about to get worse through a new Criminal Regulation that further restricts Afghan women and girls' access to justice, equality, and autonomy. The Taliban must revoke this draconian regulation now. #SpeakUpForAfghanWomen

An update on both Nazeer’s death in Texas and our allies stuck at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha. We still don’t know how he died. We do know ICE is focused on spinning this, which is disappointing and unsurprising. More on both at AfghanEvac.org/nazeer-death and afghanevac.org/cas

A father. A neighbor. An Afghan wartime ally. Nazeer Paktyawal died in ICE custody, and his family deserves answers. So does the public. AAF calls for an immediate, independent, and fully transparent investigation. Read more: bit.ly/JusticeForNazeer #JusticeForNazeer

This morning, #AfghanEvac partner & retired Marine Sean Jamshidi joined @MSNOWNews to talk about his family. Sean's brother is stuck at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, Qatar. Missiles are flying overhead. All these folks want is ahot at the American dream that they were promised.
