The Trump administration is reportedly conducting interviews with hundreds of Afghans in the U.S., raising alarms among refugees and activists about potential deportations.

The Office of Refugee Resettlement (ORR) claims the initiative, termed a 'wellbeing initiative,' aims to assess challenges faced by Afghan refugees.However, critics argue it could be used to gather sensitive information for future removals.

Activists like Shawn VanDiver accuse the administration of harboring 'nefarious' intentions, citing past policies that have restricted refugee resettlement and stripped protections from Afghans.The initiative follows a broader pattern of actions against Afghan immigrants, including frozen visa approvals and revoked protected status.Advocacy groups warn of the psychological toll on vulnerable communities, emphasizing the need for trust in immigration processes.

The administration defends the outreach as part of ensuring services for refugees, but critics remain unconvinced, highlighting systemic issues with U.S.refugee policies.
