But the #Trump admin is rolling back programs created to assist >250k #Afghans — including the #allies who worked for #US forces & other #refugees who fled after the #Taliban takeover. And while admin officials say #SIV processing will continue, advocates for Afghans who served with US troops fear the curtailment of programs they depend on, along with Trump’s ambitious #deportation plan, jeopardizes those still vying for SIV protection.
After #Kabul fell to the #Taliban in August 2021, President Joe #Biden’s admin moved to resettle #Afghans who had worked for the #US government through the Special Immigrant #Visa (#SIV) program, which grants lawful permanent resident status & a pathway to US #citizenship. As of April, about 25k Afghans had received an SIV, & another 160k had pending applications, said Adam Bates, an attorney with the International #Refugee Assistance Program who analyzed #State Dept data.

Ten years ago, Greece's Lesbos became the first stop for half of the million asylum-seekers headed for Europe. Today, the island shows how far government responses have hardened against people seeking refuge in Europe. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/08/01/world/greek-migrants-hardened-frontier/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #greece #europe #refugees #immigration #oceans

Remember this next time you vote! The far-right's bullshit about refugees is only to distract you from the fact that they themselves are the problem, not refugees!

Today there was a demonstration in #Amsterdam for free migration and refugee rights. Organised by MiGreat (https://migreat.org/en). The weather was great (a bit to sweltering) with mostly nice people. The only disappointment was the turnout, but that also made it nicer in a certain way. The reason for the turnout was probably; 1. people were to tired after the NATO-summit; 2. the municipality decided to move us out of the center, a 15 min. walk from the nearest public transport (although not having to trip over tourists is also a plus); 3. there was also a demo against an anti-refugee demo in Haarlem.
Here is a short time-lapse (via MiGreat with permission, blur is ours) at the moment we arrived back in the Martin Luther King Park (the start and finish).
📣 A shout-out to @MokumTegenFascisme.

Ten years ago, the European Union vowed as one to take in refugees after a 3-year-old Syrian boy washed up dead on a beach. Now, keeping migrants out is the key goal, as governments play to right-leaning voters. https://www.japantimes.co.jp/news/2025/06/24/world/politics/eu-migration-hard-line-compassion/?utm_medium=Social&utm_source=mastodon #worldnews #politics #immigration #refugees #eu
