In another executive order, Trump has blocked refugees who were previously approved to enter the United States. Refugees who had completed the rigorous approval process and had flights booked before the January 27 deadline have seen their travel plans canceled. This move echoes a similar policy from Trump’s first term. According to the Associated Press, thousands of refugees are now stranded worldwide.
Among those affected are over 1,600 Afghans who were cleared to resettle in the U.S. under a program established by the Biden administration after the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan. These include individuals who worked alongside American troops during the war and families of active-duty U.S. military personnel.
