President Donald Trump announced on Sunday that he would intervene to assist Afghans who have been detained in the United Arab Emirates for years after fleeing their country when the Taliban seized control.
Despite previously halting refugee resettlement upon taking office in January and ending temporary deportation protections for thousands of Afghans in April, Trump took to Truth Social to express support for those stranded. “I will try to save them, starting right now,” he wrote, linking to an article about the Afghans currently in limbo in the UAE.
The UAE, a key U.S. security ally, agreed in 2021 to temporarily shelter thousands of Afghans evacuated from Kabul during the final days of the U.S. military withdrawal, as the Taliban overran the U.S.-backed Afghan government.
In 2022, Canada responded to a U.S. request and committed to resettling around 1,000 of the Afghans still being housed in the UAE. However, the exact number of those who remain in the Gulf state is currently unknown.
Since the chaotic evacuation from Kabul, the Biden administration has brought nearly 200,000 Afghans to the United States. This group includes family members of Afghan-American U.S. service members, unaccompanied children reuniting with parents, relatives of already-admitted Afghans, and tens of thousands who worked with the U.S. government during its 20-year presence in Afghanistan.
