Trump Cancels Resettlement Flights for Afghan Refugees Approved for Travel in US

ai generated text

The US State Department has canceled travel for thousands of refugees already approved to fly to the United States, in accordance with an executive order signed by former President Trump that indefinitely paused refugee resettlement. The order was met with reactions from Afghan refugees who had fled their home country after the Taliban's return to power in 2021. The cancellation is a departure from the Biden administration's approach, which resettled nearly 200,000 Afghans in the US. Currently, between 40,000 and 60,000 Afghans are actively seeking resettlement, with about 1,700 expected to be moved out of Afghanistan over the next four months.

    1. These are people who followed all the rules and who are now left in danger.

    1. The United States lacks the ability to absorb large numbers of migrants, and in particular, refugees, into its communities in a manner that does not compromise the availability of resources for Americans.

    1. These are folks who for one reason or another are at risk because of their association with the United States — and they're hiding because they're scared.

    1. President Trump's decision to cancel the flights of Afghans and other refugees who were cleared and vetted to come to the United States is cruel, ugly and racist.
    2. This decision will ensure that Afghans seeking safety could face being targeted, imprisoned, tortured or even worse under a brutal Taliban rule. The United States owes Afghans a great debt, and we will ensure America pays that debt, long after this administration is over.

    1. A long span of waiting makes us think of very disappointing probabilities, like being sent back to Afghanistan or waiting for a long time in Pakistan as a refugee at risk, which are like nightmares to all of case holders.
