Kauser News Agency has conducted a comprehensive investigation into the implications of President Trump’s recent executive order regarding the deportation of undocumented immigrants, with a focus on Afghan refugees in the United States. Since 2021, thousands of Afghans have entered the U.S. through Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs), emergency evacuations, or by seeking asylum via the southern border. The concerns are rising about how this policy will affect Afghan nationals who came under humanitarian or temporary protective measures.
Afghan Immigration Since 2021
Following the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan, many Afghans arrived in the United States under different programs. While some were granted SIVs for their service to the U.S. government during the war, others entered as humanitarian evacuees or applied for asylum upon arrival. Additionally, Temporary Protected Status (TPS) was extended to many Afghans to address their precarious situations.
The Kauser News Agency’s investigation revealed alarming findings:
- Security Concerns: Some Afghan refugees who entered the U.S. reportedly had criminal backgrounds either in Afghanistan or after their arrival in the United States.
- Document Fraud: The investigation uncovered cases where individuals from Iran, Pakistan, and Tajikistan allegedly used Afghan passports to gain entry into the United States.
- Inadequate Vetting: Critics argue that the Biden administration failed to implement thorough vetting processes, allowing individuals with questionable backgrounds to slip through.
President Trump’s executive order mandates a review of Afghan nationals who entered the U.S. after 2021. This move aims to address concerns raised by both government officials and Afghan community leaders. Many “good Afghans”—those with legitimate SIVs or asylum claims—feel their reputation and future are jeopardized due to the presence of individuals who entered fraudulently or pose risks to society.
Over 500 Afghan immigrants approached Kauser News Agency, urging a detailed re investigation of all post-2021 Afghan arrivals. These individuals have requested the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) to identify and deport those who lied about their identities or used fraudulent documents.
Legitimate Afghan asylum seekers, particularly those who worked closely with the U.S. government or military in Afghanistan, now face significant delays and scrutiny. Many of their asylum cases remain pending in immigration courts, further complicating their integration into American society.
Afghan community leaders and advocates have endorsed Kauser News Agency’s investigation and urged the agency to submit its findings to DHS and President Trump. They believe these steps will restore fairness to the system and ensure that those who genuinely deserve protection and support are not overshadowed by bad actors.
The situation of Afghan refugees and undocumented immigrants in the U.S. is complex and multifaceted. While President Trump’s executive order seeks to address critical security concerns, it also underscores the need for balanced and transparent immigration policies. Afghan nationals with legitimate claims hope that thorough investigations will help distinguish between those who require protection and those who pose risks to society, ultimately upholding the integrity of U.S. immigration laws.
