Please don't abandon our Afghan Allies. Earlier this year, humanitarian parole was canceled for Afghans who had escaped to the U.S. following the Taliba n takeover of their country. Soon afterward, Afghanistan was removed from the list of countries eligible for Temporary Protected Status (TPS). Now we are seeing the results of an overzealous and indiscriminate deportation policy as all pathways to permanent residence close to these Afghans. Our government is making good on its new promise to betray our former allies by deporting them back into the hands of the Taliban. An Afghan man who worked alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan was detained by U.S. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officers last week in San Diego. In a video obtained by CBS News, two unidentified ICE agents put Sayed Naser in handcuffs and escorted him from the federal courthouse in downtown San Di ego after he attended a mandatory immigration hearing on Wednesday, June 11. Our collective obligation -- yes, all of us -- doesn't end just because our priorities changed.
