President Donald Trump is set to impose a new travel ban, potentially blocking entry for people from Afghanistan and Pakistan. This move, expected to take effect within a week, is part of his broader immigration crackdown targeting countries deemed security risks.
The ban could have a devastating impact on tens of thousands of Afghans, including those who worked with the U.S. government and military. Many hold Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) or refugee status, but sources say exemptions are unlikely. Advocacy groups are urging visa holders to leave immediately before restrictions are enforced.
With an official announcement expected soon, this decision is likely to spark global debate, especially as thousands remain stranded, uncertain of their future.
