The Trump administration plans to deport certain Afghan immigrants to Afghanistan, according to a US official and a coalition of advocacy groups and veterans, Al-Monitor reports. Shawn VanDiver, the head of #AfghanEvac, stated that many individuals facing removal fled the country following the US withdrawal and the 2021 Taliban takeover.
In a separate legal ruling, U.S. District Judge Jennifer L. Rochon ordered the federal government to remove three taxpayer-funded Trump administration advertisements that appeared to serve political or propaganda purposes, PBS NewsHour reports. The ads, which include one claiming every American would receive $5,000 if Republicans maintain control of Congress, must be taken down from official government websites and social media platforms.
The judge also ordered the cancellation of any plans to distribute these ads through authorized third parties, such as the MAGA Inc. super PAC.
