Trump Fury: 1,660 Afghan Migrants Fleeing Taliban Ready To Board Plane Stopped To Enter U.S

President Donald Trump's executive order suspending U.S. refugee programs has canceled flights for nearly 1,660 Afghan refugees, including family members of active-duty U.S. military personnel and unaccompanied minors.

These individuals, approved for resettlement in the United States, now face grave risks, including potential retribution from the Taliban.

Advocacy groups and military families are raising alarms over the decision, which leaves thousands more Afghan refugees in limbo in Afghanistan and neighboring Pakistan.

Critics, including Minority Democrats on the House Foreign Relations Committee, have condemned the move as a "shameful abandonment" of allies who supported U.S. efforts during two decades of war.

The suspension, part of Trump’s broader immigration crackdown, halts refugee programs for at least four months, sparking widespread panic among affected families and advocates.
