Story summary

Donald Trump's administration plans to deport 150 Afghan immigrants and asylum seekers, marking the first large-scale removal flight of its kind. Initially scheduled for Pakistan, these Afghans would then be sent back to Afghanistan, potentially endangering their lives given the Taliban’s control there since 2021. Rights advocates argue this violates due process and free speech rights, creating an unsafe environment for minorities. The plan has raised concerns among advocacy groups over the fate of former allies who worked with American forces during the war in Afghanistan. Pakistan and Afghanistan's Taliban authorities have expressed serious concern over these deportation plans, urging the U.S. to adopt a responsible approach.
