Quick Summary

The Afghan Taliban government called on the United States to act responsibly regarding the planned deportation of over 150 Afghan immigrants back to Afghanistan. This request came from a statement by the Taliban foreign ministry, which was issued in response to reports that US President Donald Trump's administration intends to proceed with the deportations, possibly as early as Monday, through Pakistan due to the lack of diplomatic ties between the US and the Taliban government.

Story summary

As of November 2, 2026, the Trump administration plans to deport over 150 Afghan immigrants from the U.S. back to Pakistan, where they will be expelled to Afghanistan. This marks the first large-scale deportation flight of Afghans under Taliban control since the country's takeover in 2021. The group includes family members of those who worked alongside U.S. military forces and individuals granted special immigrant visas. Critics argue that this move could endanger the lives of deportees, as many fled Afghanistan due to fear of persecution by the Taliban. Rights advocates warn that the administration’s timing is strategic, possibly hoping to divert attention from the upcoming midterm elections. The Taliban has urged the U.S. to act responsibly in these deportations, indicating willingness for constructive dialogue on the issue.
