Trump ‘whiplash’ on deportations putting Afghans in turmoil: ‘People already survived a war’

Members of Congress and advocates warn that returning people to their home countries could be a death sentence

Dozens of Afghans who are currently in the US but fear being deported back to Afghanistan along with a larger group and possibly killed by the Taliban are experiencing “fragile relief” this weekend after it appeared that the Trump administration had put on hold plans to remove them within days.

Members of Congress and advocates have repeatedly warned that the deportations could effectively be a death sentence.
