The Trump administration is preparing to deport at least 150 Afghans over the next 48 hours, first to Pakistan and then to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan. Many of those facing deportation are relatives of those who worked alongside the United States. They could face severe retaliation from the Taliban upon their return. Nick Schifrin discussed more with Shawn VanDiver of Afghan Evac.
I hadn’t seen this story. I just hired a really good Afghan guy. I keep on hoping for good things since Afghans have been the only ones permitted refuge by this administration (other than white South Africans). He had lost his job earlier this year due to a work-permit issue that got resolved. He’s been in the US for at least 5 years, but he was just able to bring his family (wife and kids) over here 2 years ago.
