Over 80 US lawmakers from both parties have strongly urged the Trump administration to cancel any plans to deport Afghan allies to unsafe third countries. They emphasized the moral necessity of finding secure and permanent resettlement options for these vulnerable individuals.
In a detailed letter directed to the State Department, the lawmakers expressed deep concern for approximately 1,100 Afghan refugees currently stranded in Qatar. They argued that the United States must honor its enduring promises to those who risked their lives supporting American military operations.
This urgent appeal follows disturbing reports suggesting these refugees might be transferred to nations like the Democratic Republic of Congo. The administration recently halted the direct entry of Afghan asylum seekers into the United States entirely.
