Trump admin urged to end Afghan Christian deportations, fix Biden-era mistake

Exclusive: Christian leaders say that President Donald Trump has an opportunity to reform a mistake during the Biden era by stopping the deportation of believers who face torture or death.

When thousands of Christians gathered during the holy week, the leaders of faith across the United States urged Trump to intervene and stop the deportation of Afghan Christians who face almost certain persecution during the Taliban era.

On April 10, the Ministry of Internal Security (DHS) announced that it would end the humanitarian conditions for Afghan citizens, which effectively orders thousands to leave the United States within days.

Although early report indicates change as the end of the temporary protected situation (TPS), the internal DHS notifications confirm that the affected Afghans were actually under the human conditional release. The wrong name has been repeated by the media and DHS, but it has since been corrected in the official notes of the Da`wah groups.

The policy shift affects about 9,000 Afghans who live legally in the United States while waiting for the SEV visa (SIV) or the judgment of asylum.

Among them, according to the documents obtained by Fox News Digital exclusively, hundreds of Christians, many of whom turned after the American withdrawal 2021 from Afghanistan, are now facing a threatening threat under the Taliban rule.

“We believe that all 9000 may face persecution when returning to the Taliban, but we are particularly concerned about a group of hundreds of Christians who believe that he will face an immediate threat to torture or death,” an alliance note said.

The document was sent to Trump and copied to Vice President JD Vance; DHS Secretary Christie sleep; parliament Speaker Mike Johnson, R does not. Senator Mitch McConnell, R-Ky.

Their proposal includes a “qualified and qualified exemption list”, while identifying Christians at the risk of helping DHS to restore humanitarian protection, asylum, or SIV.

One individual in that list, using a “National” pseudonym, is an Afghan Christian who was tortured by the Taliban in 2021, who was later resettled in a rally, North Carolina, who is now active in his local church. Despite his request for asylum, he received an official notice of DHS asking for his departure.

The timing of ending the conditional release during the sacred week has succeeded in stimulating Christian leaders in the United States and around the world.

“This is not just a legal issue; it is an ethical issue,” according to the permanent hope alliance (EHA). “When Christians around the world are reflected in the sacrifices of Christ, we are asked to want to remove their fellow believers who face real persecution.”

EHA, an alliance of churches, old warriors, non -profit organizations and volunteers, in the wake of the withdrawal of the Biden administration for the year 2021 from Afghanistan, helped save and resettle a thousand Christian and American allies. They are reports of spending millions in private donations and thousands of voluntary hours to bring persecuted individuals to safety.

“This is a moment to show management to sympathy and leadership,” a source close to EHA told Fox News Digital. “We are not asking open borders. We ask for a temporary and temporary solution to protect the lives often at risk.”

On August 26, 2021, the suicide bombing is still at the Kabul Gate, which killed 13 US service members still served as a specific failure in the withdrawal of the United States. Faith leaders argue that this is an opportunity for the Trump administration to reform one of the most painful consequences for the Revolution of Biden-giving up persecuted Christians.

“The withdrawal of Afghanistan was one of the darkest seasons in US foreign policy,” said Mike Manina, a former White House official in Bush who helped lead the Salvation Alliance. He has not publicly talked about it.

“What followed, was one of our best hours – thousands of ordinary Americans ascending to save lives. I hate to see this work that has been retracted.”

In an exclusive interview with Fox News Digital, Reverend Franklin Graham, head of the Samaritan portfolio, said he believed that there may now be more time to solve the crisis.

“No, he did not come to the White House,” said Graham. “But I understand from Christie Nayyoud – she said I believe that in July, the Afghans have until July, or the government will work with them until July to resolve this work. Therefore, it seemed to be deported, perhaps until today. This is what I heard. But … now … now … … [it’s] July. Therefore, they have more time to work on this visa issue. “

DHS has not publicly confirmed any extension. Many Afghan Christians received notifications that were given seven days to leave the country.

Independent groups, including the American Committee for International Religious Freedom and the WATH WATCH, confirm that Afghan Christians are specifically targeting under the Taliban rule. The transformation from Islam is considered apostasy and is punished with death.

“Afghan Christians are more at risk today under the Taliban than the Christians who were under ISIS,” says an assessment of Help The Inguced.

Defenders say that the deportation of these individuals would violate both American values ​​and international law, prohibiting the return of people to the countries where they face torture or potential death.

Josh Youssef, the founder of Help, said that Trump has a clear opportunity to correct a serious mistake that Afghanistan’s withdrawal in Afghanistan has left Biden.

“We know that Christians were beaten, imprisoned, and even killed by the Taliban,” Youssef told Fox News Digital. “Now, since some of these people who face a deportation, President Trump can take a scalpel – not a hammer – and protect those at risk of real death because of their faith.

“This is the great Friday,” he added. “It cannot be imagined to send Christians to a country where they can face their crucifixion. We ask the president to reform this.”

The Ministry of National Security did not immediately respond to the Fox News Digital request for comment.
