Where things stand · July 2026
The promise didn't expire. The follow-through did.
Since January 2025, refugee admissions have been suspended, relocation flights have stopped, and visa issuance to Afghan-passport holders has fallen to zero. Our wartime allies are still waiting. Here is what has to happen now, and how you can help.
What needs to happen now
Two fronts. One promise.
The people who need help are in two places, and the fixes are different for each. This is the shortest honest version of the agenda.
Reopen the door
- Restart visa issuance to Afghan-passport holders and restore the SIV exemption to the travel proclamation
- Restart relocation flights and restore CARE and the Enduring Welcome enterprise
- Allocate roughly 50,000 additional visas, or lift the cap
- Reopen refugee admissions to Afghans, including P1 and P2 referrals
Protect who's here
- Pass a Temporary Protected Status bill for the Afghans already here
- Get USCIS to adjudicate the benefits Afghans have already filed for
- Halt removals to Taliban-controlled Afghanistan while cases are resolved
- Reunite families separated during and after the evacuation
Who we are
We unite disparate groups toward a unified goal: honoring the promise we made to our Afghan wartime allies.
Members of the #AfghanEvac coalition work the full pipeline, from ground-level humanitarian support through relocation and resettlement.
We built and administered the mechanisms for cooperation between U.S. government agencies and the private, mostly volunteer organizations doing this work, and they ran until the current administration stopped engaging. They didn't cancel them or announce anything. They just went silent.
We keep the coalition coordinated, keep legislators and the public informed, and press to get that cooperation restored.

Four years. A promise partly kept.
Between 2021 and 2025, the #AfghanEvac coalition helped move more than 200,000 Afghans toward safety and drove dozens of policy changes across the federal government. That work is documented, and it is not finished.
Set the record straight
Our allies were vetted. Full stop.
Don't believe the disinformation. Afghans relocated through these programs were screened by U.S. and international law enforcement, intelligence, and security agencies before they ever boarded a plane. The vetting is rigorous, layered, and continuous.
- ✓U.S. intelligence and counterterrorism databases
- ✓Biometric and biographic checks, fingerprints and photos
- ✓Department of Defense, State, and Homeland Security review
- ✓International law enforcement and security partners
- ✓Continuous re-vetting throughout the process
