#BREAKING: A federal court has blocked the Trump admin from dismantling the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP). The court called their actions unlawful, arbitrary, and capricious. A huge win for refugees, resettlement agencies, and the rule of law. Another #AfghanEvac 🧵


Beijing is pressuring other governments to send Uyghurs and other groups back to China where they will be subject to torture and enforced disappearances. In response, @StateDept will immediately take steps to impose visa restrictions on government officials involved in these forced returns, including the recent instance of 40 Uyghurs from Thailand. Individuals complicit in China’s atrocities will be held accountable.

Ambassador @MAshrafHaidari, DI Founder & President, responds to the imminent US visa ban on nationals from 40 countries. He urges the Trump Administration to exempt forcibly displaced people under US laws & treaty obligations, including Afghan SIV & P1-4 applicants. He specifically calls on National Security Advisor @MikeWaltz47, who fought alongside this vulnerable Afghan group, to stand up for those who sacrificed in defense of shared US-Afghan values—democracy, freedom, and human rights—against terrorists, extremists, and drug traffickers now threatening the US.

Paws Unite People stands firmly with our Afghan Allies & Colleagues who placed their trust in the United States and now face an uncertain future due to potential travel restrictions. From our group, only a handful of individuals supported by our organization remain in Pakistan, waiting for their P1 and SIV applications to be processed. Others are already here in the U.S., or other countries working hard to rebuild their lives. These individuals are not just numbers—they are families, human and animal rights advocates, and those who dedicated their lives to protecting both people and animals. Many served alongside U.S. forces, provided critical humanitarian aid, or fought for the welfare of the voiceless. Turning our backs on them now is not only a moral failure but a betrayal of the promises made. The humanitarian impact of this crisis is far-reaching, far beyond our dear friends. People have fled life-threatening situations and are relying on us to honor our commitments. Many are still in limbo, uncertain of their future, while others who have already resettled in the U.S. continue to rebuild their lives and contribute to our communities. Their safety and well-being are not just a matter of policy—they are a moral imperative. We have lost people we care about, so many other people we have met through our work with @afghanevac members have lost people as well. This is not a political issue, it is a moral one. Paws Unite People, having worked directly with Afghan refugees and their families, sees firsthand the strength, resilience, and dedication these individuals bring to their new lives. We are committed to continuing our support for their safety and resettlement. We call on lawmakers, organizations, and individuals to stand with us and demand action before it’s too late. Afghans that are part of Operation Enduring Welcome should be exempt from this ban. We should never abandon those who stood beside us. We thank all those who have supported us and the work of organizations like ours who are helping our brave Afghan Allies, and we urge you to continue advocating for the safety and dignity of these brave individuals. Visit afghanevac.org/elected-offici… to find your representatives. You can also send them AfghanEvac’s draft resolution from there and ask them to please stand with Afghans.

President Trump's executive order freezing refugee programs has left more than 40,000 Afghans, many of whom helped the U.S. military and were already approved to leave Afghanistan, in limbo and fearing retribution from the Taliban. @Margbrennan reports.
