Former Afghan Intelligence Officer arrested amid US Immigration Crackdown
2025-02-27
[KhaamaPress] A former Afghan intelligence officer, who had worked with U.S. forces for 13 years, was arrested due to the new immigration policies under the Trump administration. Upon visiting the U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) office for his annual check-in, he was informed that his temporary residency permit had been revoked.

The officer’s situation is a direct result of the immigration policy changes implemented after Trump’s return to the White House in January 2025. These new regulations have significantly impacted the cases of Afghan refugees and asylum seekers.

As part of the policy shift, Trump issued an executive order suspending the resettlement program for Afghan refugees, including halting all flights for eligible Afghans seeking resettlement in the United States. Furthermore, reports indicate that the Trump administration closed the U.S. State Department office responsible for resettling refugees who had worked with U.S. forces.

These changes have caused significant concern among Afghan refugees and other migrants colonists who are seeking the safest way to settle in the U.S. Many individuals, including this officer, who had collaborated with U.S. forces, are now facing serious challenges regarding their immigration status.

The Trump administration’s refugee and resettlement policies have created considerable uncertainty for those who worked alongside U.S. forces, including Afghan nationals who assisted with intelligence and military operations. These individuals, who had been promised protection, now face the risk of deportation or detention under the new regulations.

The suspension of the refugee resettlement program has left many individuals stranded, unsure of their future and safety. With limited avenues for legal recourse, they find themselves in precarious situations as they navigate the shifting policies.

The actions of the Trump administration have sparked widespread criticism, especially from advocates for refugees and human rights

organizations. Many argue that these policies betray the promises made to those who risked their lives working with U.S. forces and jeopardize their safety and well-being.

* Highly recommend the Cardio Team at Kennestone Hospital in Marrietta, Ga. for Cardiac issues. They are 'old man' friendly and the chow is excellent.

#2  Considering the crop of Brandon Era flag officers, I wonder how many dancing boys were brought back as war trophies.
