As of November 1, 2026, the Trump administration plans to deport over 150 Afghan immigrants back to Afghanistan via Pakistan, marking one of the largest single expulsions of Afghans from the U.S., according to multiple sources including The New York Times. This includes relatives of Afghans who assisted U.S. military forces and could face severe repercussions under Taliban rule. Critics argue this move violates due process and endangers lives. Initially, the deportation flight was set to take place as early as Monday, with the detainees being held in Louisiana before being routed through Pakistan. Rights advocates warn that by sending Afghans first to Pakistan, the administration is exploiting a legally dubious workaround to return vulnerable immigrants to their home country where they may face persecution or worse.
President Donald Trump’s administration plans to deport more than 150 Afghan immigrants back to Afghanistan via Pakistan, US media reported, a move advocacy groups say could endanger their lives.
Trump last year issued travel bans for a number of countries, including Afghanistan, as part of a broad immigration crackdown, and sought to end deportation protections for Afghans, some of whom were granted special immigrant visas following the August 2021 takeover by the Taliban.
