He was tortured by the Taliban. Will he be sent back to Afghanistan?

  • Mohammad, an Afghan who aided U.S. Forces, was tortured by the Taliban and later entered the U.S. In February 2024 seeking refuge.
  • His ordeal began after the 2021 American troop withdrawal, when Taliban fighters arrested and tortured him for three days following a brutal nine-country journey.
  • Mohammad sought approval for a special immigrant program intended for Afghans who assisted the U.S., but his requests were rejected twice—first due to a paperwork mistake and later because the dates of his employment did not align with the contract requirements.
  • He was granted a two-year permit to work in the U.S., but in early April 2025, the Department of Homeland Security notified him that he must depart the country within a week, despite his ongoing legal attempts to remain.
  • Advocates and Mohammad’s former boss condemn the U.S. Government’s treatment of Afghan allies, warning thousands remain in immigration limbo facing uncertain futures.
