I came to America as an interpreter. He came as a trained killer. We got the same resettlement plan.

In our @kare11 interview, we shared the fear Afghan families are facing in Minnesota and across the U.S.
Identity-based immigration moves being rolled out are unjust and destabilizing. Afghans were vetted by DHS, DoD, and the FBI.

AAF Board Chair, @josephazam, speaks powerfully in this piece about the fear Afghan families are feeling and the dangerous rush to punish an entire community for one individual’s actions.

AAF Board Member @KotwalRealtor spoke with @wusa9 about the fear Afghan families are feeling after last week’s tragedy and how quickly one person’s actions have led to unfair scrutiny and rushed policy changes putting the lives of our allies at great risk.

I spoke to BBC after the D.C. incident to make one thing clear: Afghan Americans are part of this country. Scapegoating us helps no one—not the victims, not their families, not this nation. One man’s actions are not ours. Leaders must unite, not divide or stigmatize.

What is happening is unforgivable! How can responsible channels spread false news about a person who is responding to treatment and is recovering? This is being extremely disrespectful and irresponsible. Please give due respect to the family and its need for privacy.

"Individuals seeking admission to the U.S. or lawful permanent residence must support themselves financially or rely on their families, sponsors, and private organizations, and not become a burden on U.S. taxpayers."

This new travel ban doesn’t just block visas—it blocks families, breaks promises, and betrays those who stood with the U.S. in Afghanistan. You can’t say Afghanistan is “safe” and also label the Taliban terrorists. Which is it? Read our full statement:

Ending TPS for Afghans is a betrayal. Their sacrifices weren’t temporary—their protection shouldn’t be either.

If it seems too good to be true, it probably is. USCIS officials will NEVER reach out through social media platforms. USCIS will only contact you through official government channels. Report questionable users on the social media platform. Learn more: uscis.gov/avoid-scams

They have accepted the United States’ proposal to end the devastating conflict between Israel and Hezbollah.
