Niazy served the U.S. military as an Afghanistan interpreter from 2007 to 2014 "when he came back to the United States." "I got a letter from the United States citizenship and immigration departments, and Homeland Security, that my application for asylum had been denied," Niazy said. When I shared that with my lawyer, he said it was material support that the United States is against it, and that’s what caused this problem." While this happens, the Afghanistan government continues to lose territory, having already left seven districts as the Taliban assumes control. Furthermore, as U.S. forces continue their withdrawal from Afghanistan, Taliban fighters have taken over dozens of abandoned bases in recent days – raising questions about the fate of 18,000 Afghan interpreters – who risked their lives to work with the U.S. government.
