Battle Buddies
Afghan wartime allies were promised a pathway to immigration to the United States based on their service to our mission over the course of our longest war. They came through legal channels. They showed up to court as required. And now they are being targeted, arrested, and detained by ICE—with no warning, no due process, and no justification.
That’s not just wrong—it’s un-American.
In response, AfghanEvac and IAVA have launched Battle Buddies– an initiative to support our wartime allies as they go through their immigration processes – because no one who stood with us in war should have to stand alone in court.
Battle Buddies brings veterans, advocates, and everyday Americans to courtroom doors—standing quietly, legally, and deliberately to witness and affirm that our promises still stand.
Join us. Sign up below to ensure no Afghan ally stands alone.
