Syracuse, a city in upstate New York, is home to a large Afghan community that has come to the United States in recent years through U.S. military support in Afghanistan. These people, who once served as interpreters and aides for U.S. troops, now face the fear of being sent back to their home country. An incident in Washington in which an Afghan immigrant shot and killed two National Guard members has heightened uncertainty.
The incident prompted a response from President Donald Trump, who froze visa and asylum applications for Afghans in the United States. This has put the Syracuse community on alert. Many Afghans hoping to obtain permanent residency now face the possibility that their applications could be reconsidered or even rejected.
Hashmat Baktash, a former interpreter and now a US citizen, speaks for the community and emphasizes that Afghans are seeking a peaceful life in the US. The fear of deportation is omnipresent, as the Taliban in Afghanistan could get their hands on the biometric data of former aid workers, making their return life-threatening.
The Afghan community in Syracuse has become well integrated, with many working in various jobs and having their children enrolled in American schools. But the uncertainty about her future in the USA weighs heavily on her. The community hopes for fair treatment and for the U.S. to keep its promise to protect those who helped them in times of war.
