  "account": "The U.S. administration's plan to deport Afghans detained in the country back to their home nation, via Pakistan, has raised concerns among advocates. According to court documents obtained by The Associated Press, this move could put lives at risk as the deportees could face retaliation from the Taliban. The plan involves deporting Afghans as early as Monday from Louisiana, where Immigration and Customs Enforcement facilities are located, to Pakistan. Human rights organizations have condemned the planned deportations, calling them \"unconscionable\" and \"reprehensible,\" stating that it violates international human rights laws and goes against the promises made to Afghan allies.",
