Hundreds of veterans, others urge Trump to continue resettling at-risk Afghans


REUTERSUS President-elect Donald Trump speaks after a meeting with Republicans in Congress at the US Capitol building in Washington, US January 8, 2025. The letter calls on Trump and congressional leaders to continue funding the resettlement of at-risk Afghans and their families and for Congress to approve an additional 50,000 Special Immigration Visas (SIVs). Trump made immigration a major issue of his presidential campaign, promising to ramp up border security and deport record numbers of illegal immigrants. He planned to send the letter to the Trump transition team on Friday and hand-deliver it to Republican and Democratic congressional leaders next week. The Taliban, who instituted a general amnesty for officials and troops of the former US-backed government, deny the UN charges.
