The Trump administration is preparing to deport a group of Afghan immigrants despite concerns that some could face persecution by the Taliban, according to multiple news reports.
The New York Times reported that dozens of Afghans held in Louisiana are to be flown to Pakistan, where they are expected to be expelled across the border into Afghanistan. Reuters also reported that the administration plans to deport some Afghan immigrants to Afghanistan, while NBC News said the deportees risk being returned to Taliban rule after arriving in Pakistan.
Reports differ on the number of people involved. The Times of Israel, citing American media, said about 150 Afghan immigrants were expected to be deported. The Hill reported that more than 150 people could be removed, describing the operation as among the largest single deportations of Afghans. The Independent characterized it as the first large-scale removal flight of its kind.
ABC News reported that those scheduled for deportation may include relatives of Afghans who worked alongside U.S. forces. The Hill said the administration was attempting to proceed despite restrictions on sending Afghan refugees to Afghanistan and concerns that returnees could be targeted by the Taliban.
