After the Taliban took over Afghanistan, Afghans who had believed in and worked for the vision of human rights and democracy in their country faced serious and urgent harms. An extraordinary effort to evacuate them is still ongoing. But, most of the nearly 100,000 people who were evacuated to the United States hold temporary immigration status. This uncertain immigration future compounds the trauma of lost homes and families and risks returning people to face serious human rights violations.
In this episode, we discuss the evacuation, refugees, asylum, as well as the much needed Afghan Adjustment Act.
