Vets Mobilize To Block Afghan Ally Deportations After Court Rulings

U.S. military veterans are assisting Afghan evacuees and former interpreters in legal efforts to avoid deportation, offering advocacy, fundraising, and connections to pro bono lawyers. The veterans argue the U.S. has a moral duty to protect those who aided American forces and are pressuring agencies and lawmakers for relief. Many Afghans face removal due to paperwork gaps, asylum denials, or court backlogs, prompting public campaigns and court filings seeking stays or reconsideration. The effort includes public awareness efforts and community sponsorship to support legal claims and keep families together. Veterans and advocates emphasize the human and contractual obligations owed to Afghan allies as legal battles continue.
