Our statement regarding the horrific attack in Washington, DC.

[Ben Johnson @AILAExecDir]

We are deeply alarmed by reports that the Trump Administration plans to deport Afghan and Iranian nationals to the Central African Republic tomorrow. Third-country removals raise serious due process and humanitarian concerns. We urge immediate action to halt these transfers.

Eid Mubarak! Wishing you and your family a wonderful holiday filled with peace and prosperity.

[Sara Wahedi @SaraWahedi]

Please share widely with your representatives across the U.S.:

there’s policy being proposed that aims to create specific immigration pathways for Afghan women and girls (only) to study in the USA.

We need to push this through - and it’s definitely a bi-partisan issue.

If you have received an SIV Chief of Mission denial, withdrawal of support, or revocation AND you are currently in the United States, this message is for you.

#AfghanEvac can help.

Visit https://t.co/I2s4bcseos today.

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

Today is #HazaraCulturalDay in San Diego and Assemblymember Chris Ward has a message for the Hazara community in California and around the world.

Tune in now to @CNN. We are about to break some #AfghanEvac news.

[Congresswoman Sydney Kamlager-Dove @RepKamlagerDove]

I am grateful that my bill, the Rejecting the Erasure of Afghan Women and Girls Act, passed @HouseForeign with bipartisan support.

It was an honor to share this moment with Afghan girls who are pursuing the education they were denied by the Taliban here in the U.S.

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

Always consult a lawyer before you schedule any visa interviews.

They may recommend you reschedule until the travel ban is lifted or the situation changes.

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

🚨 Visa interviews are a trap for Afghans.

In court this afternoon, @StatePRM A/S Veprek said that all applicants would be denied and likely have to completely restart their visa process if the travel ban is ever lifted.

@StateDept does not tell applicants they’ll be denied.

[Shawn VanDiver @shawnjvandiver]

Let’s stick to the facts.

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal:
• evacuated by the U.S. government in 2021
• father of six children
• living in Texas with a pending asylum case

He died less than 24 hours after entering ICE custody.

The cause of death is still under investigation.

[Shawn VanDiver @shawnjvandiver]

Still so many questions, and yet DHS keeps trying to district and denigrate this man's service.

I'm here to tell you that we won't do that.

[Amnesty International South Asia, Regional Office @amnestysasia]

For years, the rights of women and girls in Afghanistan have been steadily eroded by the Taliban. Now, that repression is about to get worse through a new Criminal Regulation that further restricts Afghan women and girls' access to justice, equality, and autonomy.

The Taliban must revoke this draconian regulation now. #SpeakUpForAfghanWomen

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

An update on both Nazeer’s death in Texas and our allies stuck at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha.

We still don’t know how he died. We do know ICE is focused on spinning this, which is disappointing and unsurprising.

More on both at https://t.co/x0on4UlyLk and https://t.co/iU8bzvGmvS

[The Afghan-American Foundation @Afghan_American]

A father. A neighbor. An Afghan wartime ally.

Nazeer Paktyawal died in ICE custody, and his family deserves answers. So does the public.

AAF calls for an immediate, independent, and fully transparent investigation.

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

This morning, #AfghanEvac partner & retired Marine Sean Jamshidi joined @MSNOWNews to talk about his family.

Sean's brother is stuck at Camp As Sayliyah in Doha, Qatar.

Missiles are flying overhead.

All these folks want is ahot at the American dream that they were promised.

[Shawn VanDiver @shawnjvandiver]

Can you believe the @StateDept still hasn’t moved these folks?

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

A brave Afghan teen on @TheLeadCNN tonight about life at CAS.

Over 1,100 Afghan allies are stuck there, mostly women and children.

CNN highlighted our letter to @SecRubio documenting the risks families are facing.

Their courage is extraordinary. We owe them more than silence.

[Shawn VanDiver @shawnjvandiver]

Approximately 15 missiles were just intercepted above Camp As Sayliyah, moments ago.

@Sec_Noem refuses to commit to protecting the residents there, including the 150 individual immediate family members of active duty U.S. military.

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

Please share this message from AfghanEvac with residents at Camp As Sayliyah, with graphics included in English, Dari, and Pashto.

[#AfghanEvac @afghanevac]

We just sent this letter to the State Dept leaders responsible for the residents at Camp As Sayliyah.

US government officials are likely appropriately concerned about our facilities and personnel under threat in the region, that SHOULD include the staff and residents at CAS.
