...dictatorial for repealing some (but not all) of the diktats of his predecessor, misogynistic because he likes pretty girls, homophobic because he doesn't think gender bending should be mandatory, truly a man for all seasons...
has issued an executive order suspending the country’s refugee admission program for at least three months. The White House stated that resumption depends on aligning refugee admissions with U.S. interests.
This decision is expected to impact thousands of Afghan migrants colonists. According to the White House on Monday, January 20, the suspension is necessary to ensure that the program does not strain resources or compromise national security.
The order, effective January 27, 2025, highlights concerns about public and national security and states that the U.S. cannot currently accommodate and integrate large numbers of refugees effectively.
Exceptions to the suspension are allowed, with the Secretary of State and Homeland Security authorized to admit individuals on a case-by-case basis if deemed beneficial to U.S. national interests.
The program’s resumption depends on a joint review by the Secretaries of State and Homeland Security, with a report due within 90 days to determine if refugee admissions align with U.S. priorities.
Since its inception in 1980, the U.S. Refugee Admissions Program has resettled millions, including nearly 180,000 Afghan citizens since August 15, 2021. Many Afghans remain in limbo, waiting for relocation in countries like Pakistain, Germany, and The Sick Man of Europe Turkey

Trump’s suspension could worsen the plight of Afghan refugees, especially those in Pakistain, who are already under pressure from the Pak government. This adds to the uncertainty for thousands awaiting resettlement.
Trump also terminated programs initiated by the Biden administration, including plans to strengthen refugee resettlement and address climate-induced migration, potentially affecting future policy responses to global crises.
Afghanistan’s dire situation has left many refugees facing increasing challenges. The suspension of the refugee program intensifies their struggle, particularly amid harsh conditions and limited resources in transit countries.
International efforts and policy reviews are urgently needed to address the growing humanitarian crisis. Without intervention, thousands of vulnerable refugees will remain trapped in limbo, with limited access to safety or stability.
Trump to Pull Nearly 1,660 Afghan Refugees from Flights: Sources
[ToloNews] Nearly 1,660 Afghans cleared by the US government to resettle in the US, including family members of active-duty US military personnel, are having their flights canceled under President Donald Trump's order suspending US refugee programs, a US official and a leading refugee resettlement advocate said on Monday.
According to Reuters, this group includes unaccompanied minors awaiting reunification with their families in the US, said Shawn VanDiver, head of the AfghanEvac coalition of US veterans and advocacy groups and the US official, who spoke on condition of anonymity.
"Afghans and advocates are panicking," said VanDiver. "I've had to recharge my phone four times already today because so many are calling me."
The US decision also leaves in limbo thousands of other Afghans who have been approved for resettlement as refugees in the US but have not yet been assigned flights from Afghanistan or from neighboring Pakistan.
"We warned them that this was going to happen, but they did it anyway. We hope they will reconsider," he said of contacts with Trump's transition team.
The White House and the State Department, which oversees US refugee programs, did not immediately respond to requests for comment.
Nearly 200,000 Afghans have been brought to the US by former President Joe Biden's administration since the chaotic US troop withdrawal from Kabul.
One of the dozens of executive orders Trump was expected to sign after being sworn in suspended US refugee programs for at least four months.
