US Judge Temporarily Blocks Deportation of Detained Afghans to Afghanistan or Pakistan
A federal judge in New York temporarily blocked the Trump administration's plan to deport Afghans detained in the U.S. to Afghanistan or Pakistan, citing concerns from advocates and lawmakers about risks of persecution, torture, or death. The order, issued by Judge Valerie Caproni, expires Saturday, with no deportations planned before then. Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) confirmed no flights are scheduled for deportations this week. Lawmakers and immigrant rights groups warned deportees could face retaliation from the Taliban, especially those who aided U.S. forces.
