📢 The Trump Administration is Moving to Permanently Shut Down Enduring Welcome
On day one, executive orders paused refugee admissions (USRAP) and froze foreign aid—including the funding that supported Afghan relocations. At the time, we were told this was temporary.
Now, reports indicate that the administration is making plans for a permanent shutdown. The State Department has directed staff to prepare for the full closure of Enduring Welcome—the most secure pathway for our Afghan allies.
This would abandon:
🚨 40,000 already vetted & cleared for travel.
🚨 50,000 in third countries with nowhere to go.
🚨 15,000 in Pakistan waiting for flights.
🚨 3,000 immediate family members of active-duty U.S. service members.
🚨 10,000 individuals seeking family reunification, including 3,000 unaccompanied minors’ family members.
This isn’t just about keeping our promises. This is a national security issue.
🔴 If this decision stands:
Future allies will refuse to work with us—why risk their lives if the U.S. won’t stand by them?
The Taliban, ISIS-K, and al-Qaeda will use this as proof that America abandons its allies.
U.S. service members will be at greater risk in future conflicts without local support.
This would be a betrayal of our veterans, our military families, and our wartime allies.
We don’t leave people behind.
We absolutely must stop this from happening.
We must not let this potential betrayal happen quietly, we can stop it, so please share this story with your networks.
