Now military veterans are scrambling to bring as many of them as possible to the country before the administration introduces a travel ban that could restrict their entry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/protecting-the-united-states-from-foreign-terrorists-and-othernational-security-and-public-safety-threats\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">executive order<\/a> on Jan. 20, Mr. Trump instructed cabinet members, including the secretary of state, to compile a list of countries \u201cfor which vetting and screening information is so deficient as to warrant a partial or full suspension on the admission of nationals from those countries.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The order called for the list to to be completed within 60 days. As that deadline nears, supporters of the Afghan allies have accelerated efforts to bring those eligible to the United States.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-1\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe have been engaged in high-intensity, frenetic work,\u201d said Andrew Sullivan, a military veteran and the executive director of No One Left Behind, a nonprofit whose team has been working marathon days to raise money and arrange flights.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-2\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Amid <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2021\/08\/31\/us\/politics\/biden-defends-afghanistan-withdrawal.html\" title=\"\">the chaotic pullout from Afghanistan in August 2021,<\/a> the U.S. military helped evacuate 78,000 Afghans who worked as interpreters and in other capacities during the war. Tens of thousands of other who aided U.S. forces are still trying to reach the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The wartime allies can apply for a Special Immigrant Visa, which allows them to travel to the United States with their families and receive permanent residence. Many have been waiting for months or longer in neighboring Pakistan and in Albania and Qatar to complete processing by U.S. authorities.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">In his first term, Mr. Trump barred nationals from seven majority Muslim countries \u2014 Iran, Iraq, Libya, Somalia, Sudan, Syria and Yemen \u2014 from entering the United States. This time, Afghanistan is among the countries whose citizens could be <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nytimes.com\/2025\/03\/06\/us\/politics\/trump-travel-ban.html\" title=\"\">categorically blocked<\/a>, according to U.S. officials. The officials said that Cuba and Venezuela could also be added.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">If Mr. Trump includes Afghanistan in a new travel ban, Afghans who helped the United States could be stranded indefinitely.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-3\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">After his inauguration, the president also signed an <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.whitehouse.gov\/presidential-actions\/2025\/01\/reevaluating-and-realigning-united-states-foreign-aid\/\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">executive order<\/a> that paused funding for refugee resettlement, suspending travel to the United States for thousands of people around the world who had been screened and approved for entry.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Afghans who had obtained Special Immigrant Visas were not barred from relocating to the United States. But in shutting down refugee admissions, the State Department canceled the contracts that had also covered the costs of transporting the Afghan allies. Suddenly they had to pay their own way, and many could not afford the cost.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cPeople with visas in their passports saw their pathway to safety stripped away overnight,\u201d said Sonia Norton, advocacy director for No One Left Behind, which is based in Arlington, Va.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The organization\u2019s main role had been to supplement government support by providing Afghan families with loans to buy cars, further their education and adjust to the United States. After the executive orders, it quickly pivoted to an emergency fund-raising campaign.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">About 37,000 Afghans, and their families, have been issued Special Immigrant Visas since 2009, when the program began. The Taliban, which rules Afghanistan, regards those Afghans as traitors. Thousands have faced retaliatory violence and hundreds have been killed for assisting the United States, according to a 2022 report by No One Left Behind.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-4\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">At the time that Mr. Trump signed the executive orders in January, some 1,000 Afghans and their family members had visas to come to the United States. Returning to Afghanistan is not an option for them, Mr. Sullivan said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cThere\u2019s a very real chance that they could get kicked back to the Taliban with a U.S. visa in their passport, and that could be deadly to these allies,\u201d Mr. Sullivan, 38, who was an Army infantry company commander in Afghanistan, said in an interview from Doha, Qatar, where his team was on the ground in recent days.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cIf we don\u2019t know what\u2019s going to happen with immigration policy, we\u2019re not going to sit idly by,\u201d he said. \u201cWe\u2019re going to come and support them.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No One Left Behind, established in 2014, has raised millions of dollars in a matter of weeks from veterans and other Americans to buy airplane tickets for Afghan families who had already been cleared to travel to the United States from Albania, Qatar and Pakistan.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-5\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Several veteran groups, including <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/www.congress.gov\/119\/meeting\/house\/117931\/witnesses\/HHRG-119-VR00-Wstate-JaslowA-20250304.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">Iraq and Afghanistan Veterans of America<\/a>, have voiced concern for the fate of the Afghan allies.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Three Republican members of Congress <a class=\"css-yywogo\" href=\"https:\/\/lawler.house.gov\/uploadedfiles\/letter_to_trump_on_care-enduring_welcome.pdf\" title=\"\" rel=\"noopener noreferrer\" target=\"_blank\">said in a letter to President Trump<\/a> that his executive orders had resulted in the \u201cimmediate shutdown\u201d of Afghan relocation efforts. \u201cThese are not random applicants or illegal migrants who\u2019ve crossed the southern border,\u201d said the March 4 letter signed by Michael Lawler of New York, Michael McCaul of Texas and Richard Hudson of North Carolina.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cFor many Afghans in the pipeline, staying in Afghanistan is a death sentence,\u201d they said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">The White House did not respond to request for comments on the impact of the executive orders or the effects of a potential travel ban on Afghans who supported the U.S. mission.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Aman Jafari, who interpreted for U.S. Navy Seals, arrived in Portland, Ore., from Albania on March 5 with his wife and four young children.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWhen Mr. Trump canceled flights, we didn\u2019t have money to book our own flights to America,\u201d said Mr. Jafari, 33. \u201dWe just worried terribly what would happen next.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-6\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Then No One Left Behind stepped in, he said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">On Tuesday, Mr. Sullivan arrived in Los Angeles from Doha to meet potential donors.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Evelyn Moore, 67, who has no military connections, said she had donated to the organization\u2019s effort because Mr. Trump\u2019s policies could have \u201cdire consequences\u201d for those who risked their lives for the United States.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cWe must keep our allies on a path to the U.S., as promised,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">By the end of this week, No One Left Behind hopes to have flown to the United States every Afghan who already has a visa.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">It must also help them get on their feet in their adopted country.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Trump\u2019s executive order halted funding to nonprofits like the International Rescue Committee and HIAS, which used to provide services such as rental assistance and job placement to refugees and Afghan allies for at least 90 days after their arrival.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"css-ew4tgv\" aria-label=\"companion column\"\/><\/div>\n<div data-testid=\"companionColumn-7\">\n<div class=\"css-53u6y8\">\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">No One Left Behind has partnered with community organizations and volunteers in cities like Portland, Rochester, N.Y., and Sacramento to fill the void.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">Mr. Jafari\u2019s family is living in an Extended Stay America hotel outside Portland while he waits for an apartment to be leased for his family. Rent will be paid by No One Left Behind and a local group, the Afghan Support Network, until Mr. Jafari becomes self-sufficient.<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-at9mc1 evys1bk0\">\u201cI am so glad that I arrived in America,\u201d he said. \u201cI want to work hard for my family to have a good and bright future.\u201d<\/p>\n<p class=\"css-798hid etfikam0\">Alain Delaqu\u00e9ri\u00e8re<!-- -->
