I'm hearing lots of folks say Biden left our Afghan allies behind.
That's true.
He left them behind & then veterans and civil society worked with him & his admin to create to safest, most secure immigration pathway in history.
And then on Day 1, President Trump shut it down.

Congress is back & Afghan allies are at risk of being left out of the NDAA.
✅ Amend #141 (Crow–Nunn): extend Afghan SIVs thru 2027
✅ Amend #1057 (Miller-Meeks–Crow): path to safety & protection for allies
Tell Congress: Stand w/ our allies.

Independence Day is a reminder that America is not the project of any one person. The single most powerful word in our democracy is the word ‘We.’ ‘We The People.’ ‘We Shall Overcome.’ ‘Yes We Can.’ America is owned by no one. It belongs to all citizens. And at this moment in history—when core democratic principles seem to be continuously under attack, when too many people around the world have become cynical and disengaged—now is precisely the time to ask ourselves tough questions about how we can build our democracies and make them work in meaningful and practical ways for ordinary people.

An Afghan ally who served alongside U.S. forces was legally paroled into the U.S. and showed up for his first hearing.
@DHSGov detained him anyway—using a vague “improvidently issued” excuse.
He followed the rules.
We have the video.
This must stop.

Give Afghan allies who defended freedom a new chapter! Reopen USRAP to honor their courage and build a brighter tomorrow together!

🚨 The State Dept just told OMB they plan to shut down Enduring Welcome—the program that relocates our Afghan allies.
Thousands already vetted. U.S. troops’ family members. Even American citizens.
We cannot let this happen.
📢 Take action: afghanevac.org/letter-to-rep… #AfghanEvac

No official announcement has been made, and no litigation has been filed to date.
These notices are also being sent to attorneys and U.S. citizen family members.
We are asking @DHSgov to issue a statement clarifying policy related to all types of Afghans.

🚨URGENT🚨
Many Afghans who came to the U.S. through various types of parole have received notices that their parole has been terminated and that they have 7 days to leave the country.
#AfghanEvac 🧵below: whatever you do, do not leave the country without talking to a lawyer.

You may be wondering about the difference between Refugees and SIVs. We're here to demystify this for you.
Both are wartime allies. Both are equally deserving of our support. Both are a part of #EnduringWelcome.

Some say SIVs aren't impacted by the EOs. The reality?
✅ Applications are still being processed.
❌ But relocation flights have stopped.
❌ Resettlement services are frozen.
❌ Many approved SIVs have no way to reach safety.

If you're worried about security related to refugees, you shouldn't be and we're here to show you why not. Check out this detailed description of #USRAP vetting.
As you can see, refugees are THOROUGHLY vetted. Please share far and wide. #AfghanEvac

"Afghan refugees whose applications have been vetted and finalized should not face further delays—they deserve the opportunity to begin their journey toward safety and rebuilding their lives,” said Ambassador @MAshrafHaidari, DI Founder & President. displacedinternational.org/s…

If you care about ensuring safety for our Afghan allies, share this thread and demand action.
Together, we can ensure America keeps its promises. #AfghanEvac
Afghans who worked alongside the U.S. and are now persecuted cannot access safety if pathways are closed, suspended, or defunded.
We must act to protect those who risked everything for our shared values.
Here’s how we can restore relocation for Afghans. 🧵👇 #AfghanEvac

BREAKING: Vice President Kamala Harris just demolished Donald Trump for backing out of the debate saying “Donald, if you’ve got something to say, say it to my face.” Retweet so all Americans see this badass moment from Kamala Harris.
