Afghans Cleared For U.S. Evacuation Fear Trump Reversal Could Allow Taliban To 'Kill Us'

Afghans cleared for resettlement in the United States are fearful that an executive order signed by President Donald Trump will put them at grave risk. Some 1,660 Afghan refugees have been pulled from scheduled flights, according to a resettlement organization. Afghans who helped U.S. forces before the Taliban seized control in 2021, along with family members of American soldiers, are among the group of refugees who were approved for immigration to the United States until Trump signed the order.
