Some 200,000 Afghans who were left behind during the Biden administration and its botched 2021 withdrawal have now been left in further limbo by the Trump administration's suspension of the refugee program.

Many fought alongside U.S. soldiers and received refugee visas last year, but they now fear they may never be allowed to come to the U.S.

Nick Schifrin and producer Sonia Kopelov spoke to refugees

hoping to fulfill an American dream they thought they'd been promised.

For nearly two decades, they fought,

sacrificed and lived side by side with their American

partners bound by a mutual mission, create a safe, smart Afghanistan, that dream now replaced

by the nightmare of Taliban persecution.

What would happen if you were forced to go back to Afghanistan?

People like me, that they have a lot of information, special work with the U.S. special

forces, they are not going directly to kill them.

They are going to torture them, their family, their friends.

A man will call Muhammad and keep anonymous was an Afghan Special Forces soldier who served

with U.S. Green Berets from 2019 until the U.S.'s 2021 withdrawal.

He filmed this video. Their missions, often at night, always dangerous against a common enemy.

We have been served in fight shoulder by shoulder to each other for many years

against the Taliban, IAS, Al-Qaeda, other tourist groups in Afghanistan.

We lost a lot of our colleagues, 150 people that I personally knew them.

I'm so proud of what we did in Afghanistan for humanity and for freedom.

During the Biden administration's chaotic evacuation,

Mohammed, like so many other Afghans,

tried but failed to evacuate via Kabul's airport.
