A coalition of veterans’ groups is calling on President Donald Trump to reconsider his latest executive order on immigration, warning that it could jeopardize Afghan interpreters and their families who risked their lives to support US military efforts.

Since the Afghanistan war’s end in 2021, around 180,000 Afghans have resettled in the U.S., but many remain in hiding in countries such as Pakistan, fearing forced return to Taliban rule. Veterans are hoping their appeal will prompt the Trump administration to carve out protections for those left behind.

In a letter sent Thursday and obtained by Fox News, the organizations urged Trump to re-evaluate the Realigning the United States Refugee Program executive order, which takes effect Monday and suspends the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program (USRAP).

Fox News reported that while Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) holders are not directly affected by the order, advocacy groups such as #AfghanEvac warn that thousands of eligible individuals could be inadvertently left behind due to bureaucratic delays and logistical hurdles. According to the organization, at least 10,000 to 15,000 fully vetted Afghan allies remain stranded abroad, awaiting flights to the US.

11. He is loyal to no one.

He handed over northern Syria to Erdogan by removing our troops at the behest of his lover, Putin. Erdogan then drove the Kurds, who had helped us decimate ISIS, out of their homeland. Putin got 3 of our military bases out of the deal.
