More than 70,000 Afghans were evacuated to the United States beginning in the summer of 2021. These individuals included translators who helped U.S. troops, women rights activists, religious minorities, and others who were fleeing violence and persecution and were resettled in communities across the United States. Most of the Afghans who were evacuated were brought into the United States in a temporary immigration status as “parolees.” However, parole is only a temporary protection, and these individuals need access to permanent legal status to be able to safely and securely rebuild their lives in the United States. The Afghan Adjustment Act is a bipartisan bill that we are asking Congress to pass to support Afghans in the United States.
