Two more I know about, both just received approval for their visas after years in refugee areas... just when Trump 'n Musk cancelled all Afghan's visas. Both have Americans ready to pay their airfare from Pakistan to the US and help them resettle.
Both were too young to sign up for our military so the focused on studying so they could help build their new democracy, trusting in our promise and vision of a better world. One has a group of Jewish friends from a college fellowship, the other has 4 older brothers who joined the US and UK militaries and are safe now but cannot help their younger brother. And unless Trump lifts the ban on Afghans with visa applications, Pakistan may deport both back to prison, torture and/or death by Taliban.
Anyone willing to spend 15 min emailing, calling or typing in an elected Rep or Senator's contact window?
