ICE Check-ins Disrupt Afghan Allies' Holidays
Update: 2025-12-25
Description
U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) is scheduling document check-ins for Afghans living in the country during the holiday season, causing outrage among advocates. These check-ins, which include green card interviews, are being held on Christmas Day, New Years Day, December 27th, and December 30th. The Trump administration is tightening rules on migrants from Afghanistan, following a November shooting by an Afghan national who came through a Biden program. The administration is reviewing refugee cases, freezing green card applications, and slashing the refugee cap to 7,500 spots. They have also expanded travel bans to over 30 countries, including Afghanistan, and shut down the State Department office that helped resettle Afghan helpers. A push to reopen the office failed, leaving many in limbo as policies keep shifting.
