Afghanistani Refugee Advocacy Group Warns of Potential U.S. Travel Ban

Published 06/03/2025

RASC News Agency: The Afghan Evac Coalition (AEC), a prominent organization facilitating the relocation of Afghanistani citizens to the United States, has issued a stark warning that travel to the U.S. may soon be barred for Afghanistani nationals, even for those in possession of valid visas and travel documents. In a statement posted on X (formerly Twitter) on Wednesday night, March 5, the coalition revealed that it had received intelligence from sources within the U.S. government indicating that a potential travel ban could take effect as early as next week, impacting Afghanistani citizens alongside nationals of several other countries.

The AEC has urged all Afghanistani citizens with valid U.S. visas to depart immediately while travel remains viable. Sean VanDiver, the coalition’s president and a U.S. military veteran who served in Afghanistan, underscored the urgency of the situation, stating that while no formal decision had been announced, the matter was “critical and time-sensitive.” Following his return to office, U.S. President Donald Trump moved swiftly to suspend refugee admissions and freeze scheduled evacuation flights, leaving thousands of Afghanistani nationals stranded many of whom had been promised resettlement by Washington.

This policy shift comes in stark contrast to the U.S. withdrawal from Kabul, during which thousands of unqualified individuals were airlifted to the United States due to political favoritism within the former Afghanistani government. Meanwhile, those who had demonstrably earned their right to evacuation including former soldiers and translators who directly assisted U.S.-led coalition forces were left behind, abandoned to an uncertain fate. Since then, hundreds have reportedly been arrested, tortured, or executed by the Taliban regime.

The escalating crisis has deepened fear and anxiety among those still trapped in Afghanistan, with growing concerns over their safety and the fate of their families.
