AFGHANS FOR A BETTER TOMORROW CONDEMNS TRUMP’S ATTACK ON NEW AFGHAN ARRIVALS

WASHINGTON DC -- Afghans For A Better Tomorrow is issuing the following statement in response to the Trump administration’s parole termination notices and the end of temporary protections for Afghans:

“Our organization has been overwhelmed with weeping calls and anxious pleas from Afghans who have sought safety and asylum in the United States. The Trump administration has decided to voraciously attack refugee and immigrant communities over these past few months, including our own.

While the temporary protections offered to Afghans fell short of the promises America made, they were still measures that were life-saving. It allowed Afghans to build a new haven for themselves and their families. 

Now, Afghans face a set of conditions that make it impossible to return: half the country is starving, women’s rights are nonexistent, and a ruthless regime targets anyone who opposes it. It’s America’s 20-year war in Afghanistan that created the current conditions in Afghanistan today. Now it wishes to discard the direct human consequences of its own actions.”
