US media recently revealed that the US government plans to deport more than 150 Afghan immigrants seeking refuge in the US. Many of these families and relatives “helped the US military” during the war in Afghanistan. The practice drew criticism from immigrant rights groups and Democratic lawmakers. Bloomberg News first broke the news on October 26, saying that the US government plans to deport these Afghan immigrants to Pakistan. On October 30, the “New York Times” quoted three anonymous officials as reporting that since the US has not established diplomatic relations with the Afghan Taliban government, they can only be repatriated through a third party. After these immigrants are sent to Pakistan, the Palestinian side will “monitor” their return home. The immigrant rights organization “Afghan Evacuation Coalition” said that the relatives of many people on the repatriation list have served the US military in Afghanistan. Sean Van Diever, the head of the organization, said that this practice of “crossing rivers and demolishing bridges” is disgusting. “The US government is doing this during the week of voting, and I hope no one notices it.”
