This new travel ban doesn’t just block visas—it blocks families, breaks promises, and betrays those who stood with the U.S. in Afghanistan. You can’t say Afghanistan is “safe” and also label the Taliban terrorists. Which is it? Read our full statement: #KeepThePromise

The latest travel ban is one more dark chapter in a long history of fickle and reckless American policy decisions impacting the lives of brave Afghan women, girls and families facing the Taliban's #genderapartheid regime.

ICE is now arresting Afghan allies—at their first court hearing—after they entered legally via CBP One, filed asylum + SIV paperwork, and followed every damn rule. They’re using “improvidently issued” like a magic phrase to disappear people. We have the video. #AfghanEvac

So much potential in this young woman. I’ve witnessed first-hand Zulikha’s incredible growth, passion, and rise. Her voice is powerful, and her future is bright.
