Since the Taliban regained control of Afghanistan in 2021, some 200,000 Afghans have found refuge in the U.S. Most were given "humanitarian parole" to stay in the country. But the Trump administration has ended those protections and many now face deportation back to Afghanistan, where they fear Taliban retribution.
