Once hailed as heroes, Afghans fear deportation under Trump
NegativeWorld Affairs
- Afghans who were once celebrated for their contributions to the U.S. military efforts against the Taliban now face the looming threat of deportation under the Trump administration's immigration policies. Many, like Ali, an Afghan air force pilot, are experiencing heightened anxiety as they navigate a system that increasingly targets asylum seekers.
- This situation is particularly dire for individuals who risked their lives in support of U.S. operations, as they now find themselves in a precarious position, fearing detention and potential return to a country where they could face persecution.
- The broader implications of this crisis reflect a growing trend of fear among immigrants in the U.S., with reports of increased arrests of Afghan asylum seekers and a general atmosphere of anxiety affecting not only immigrants but also U.S. citizens who feel vulnerable to immigration enforcement.
