Welcome to The Afghanistan Project, where we cover all topics related to two decades of war in Afghanistan, and the fallout of our Afghanistan withdrawal.
Our guest today is Andy Sullivan, the Chief Advocacy Officer for No One Left Behind, a nonprofit organization that supports the wartime allies whom we promised assistance through the Special Immigrant Visa program.
Andy takes listeners through two new Trump administration executive orders that are impacting or may impact our Afghan allies, explaining who is impacted by the orders (US Refugee Admissions Program applicants), and who as yet is exempted from the pause (SIV applicants).
We discuss efforts to continue supporting our allies, the incredible service our Afghan supporters have provided to us and continue to provide after arriving on U.S. soil.
