The US told several Afghans to await relocation in Pakistan after escaping Taliban rule. Two years later, many are facing deportation.

• Several Afghan refugees in Pakistan who were promised relocation to the US are now facing deportation, CNN reports. 
• For Afghans who served the US military, returning to a Taliban regime could be a death sentence.
• One expert told CNN many Afghans have yet to receive visas because the US has not established a processing center in Pakistan.

After the Taliban overthrew the Afghanistan government on August 15, 2021, hundreds of thousands of Afghans fled the country, fearing for their lives under the new regime. Thousands of them entered Pakistan, acting under American guidance to wait outside Afghanistan as their US visas were processed.
