Afghanistan’s Taliban government has expressed serious concern over reported US plans to deport more than 150 Afghan immigrants to Pakistan before sending them back to Afghanistan.
According to media reports, the deportees include relatives of Afghans who assisted American forces before the US withdrawal in 2021. Many reportedly lack legal residency documents in the United States.
Taliban Foreign Ministry spokesperson Abdul Qahar Balkhi said Kabul was concerned about Washington’s reported decision to send Afghan refugees to Pakistan for eventual repatriation.
Meanwhile, advocacy groups have warned that deporting former US allies and their families could expose them to serious security risks in Afghanistan.
Although the Taliban announced a general amnesty after returning to power, the United Nations has documented reports of extrajudicial killings, arbitrary detentions and other abuses.
The development comes amid President Donald Trump’s broader immigration crackdown. His administration previously introduced travel restrictions affecting Afghanistan and sought to end deportation protections for Afghan nationals.
The reported plan has raised fresh concerns about the safety and future of Afghans who supported US-led operations.
