Matt Zeller, an #Army veteran whose #Afghan interpreter saved his life in a 2008 firefight, co-founded the nonprofit No One Left Behind to help resettle #Afghans. He said he fears the #immigration crackdown will unwind that effort.
“The #Trump administration knows what’s going to happen to these folks. They’re not stupid. They understand that the #Taliban is going to kill them when they get back to #Afghanistan,” Zeller said. “They just don’t care.”

#ICE crackdown imperils #Afghans who aided #US war effort
2 former #Afghan #interpreters for US forces face #deportation despite following #immigration processes, acc/to attorneys for the men.

One former interpreter for US forces in #Afghanistan was detained by ICE agents in Connecticut last month after he showed up for a routine green card appointment. A second was arrested in June, just minutes after attending his first #asylum hearing in San Diego.

They point to the arrests of Zia, 36, and Sayed Naser, 33, whose attorneys argue they followed proper #immigration processes. The Post agreed to withhold the last names of both men because of the ongoing threats to their lives from the #Taliban.
“Zia is not an outlier,” his attorney Lauren Cundick Petersen said during a news conference last month. “We’re witnessing the deliberate redefinition of legal entry as illegal for the purpose of meeting enforcement quotas.”

"The poor [#MoD official] who thought they were sending 150 #Afghan names to be verified, and accidentally sent nearly 25,000, was part of a department with a history of blunders. The 🇬🇧 Ministry of Defence has had various procurement fiascos and other data leaks… it entrusted the names of both Afghans and their supporters in the UK’s military and intelligence services to that wonder of modern science, the spreadsheet." 🤮 https://www.ft.com/content/1d9cb702-fe53-4cb4-8dbf-aa6254ce0120

As a follow up to Israel attacking Iran, the Islamic republic regime (ruling Iran) is being horrific to Afghan refugees/immigrants. Afghans are becoming scapegoats and blamed for spying for Israel. The most vulnerable people get most fucked over - always.

And people thought war was going to help.
