A broken promise and a betrayal of America’s longest wartime allies. The State Dep’t says it's closing Camp As-Sayliyah today, where ~1,100 Afghan allies have been stranded, with some offered money to return to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. My take in @scrippsnews.bsky.social

“It’s not about what’s in it for me. It’s about how can I best love my neighbor?” Global Refuge recently launched Faith Alliance, a free training for congregations seeking to safely welcome immigrants & refugees. 🎥: https://bit.ly/3NuyAUE 🔗 Learn more: globalrefuge.org/faithalliance

Today marks the anniversary of the Refugee Act of 1980 — a bipartisan promise that the U.S. would remain a refuge for people fleeing persecution. The Act codified a simple but powerful idea: that we can be a nation of laws and a nation of welcome. 46 years later, that balance feels fragile.

Mohommad Nazeer Paktyawal. Emmanuel Cleeford Damas. Luis Gustavo Núñez Cáceres. 23 people have died in ICE custody since October—an average of one death every 7 days. These are not isolated incidents. They are the result of policies that have abandoned constitutionality and respect for human life.

Mohammed Nazeer Paktiawal worked w/ US forces, was evacuated to safety and had a pending asylum claim.   Less than 24 hours after being taken into ICE custody, he was dead.   His family deserves to know how this could've happened. We all do.

Meet Reza. 🧵 After fleeing Afghanistan as a child, Reza learned to sew as a refugee in Iran. He returned to Afghanistan & started a thriving business only to lose everything in the Taliban takeover. Now in the US, Reza is rebuilding his business w/ the help of Global Refuge: https://bit.ly/4b7A943

Horrific and unacceptable. Nurul Amin Shah Alam came here through legal pathways, fleeing religious persecution and genocide. Instead of the safety he was promised, he appears to have been abandoned by federal immigration agents -- blind and alone on a freezing cold night.
