Afghan refugees seeking safety in the US feel abandoned after President Donald Trump’s executive order suspended resettlement programs, citing "record levels of migration." Families of US military servicemembers, like paratrooper Abdullah’s sister, face grim futures under Taliban rule. Refugees like Ahmad, who supported US operations, are left in limbo, their lives endangered. Over 10,000 applicants in final stages are affected, with Pakistan expelling Afghan refugees amid rising tensions. Former refugees criticize the decision as a "betrayal," citing years of collaboration with US forces. Advocacy groups call for reversing the order, highlighting grave humanitarian consequences. Refugees plead for international intervention.
