When it comes to immigration policy, President Trump's executive order suspending all refugee

admissions into the U.S. has far-reaching consequences, including for those who helped America's

mission in Afghanistan. Our White House correspondent, Lar Barone Lopez, has more.

Tens of thousands of Afghans, including family members of active duty U.S. military, are now in limbo,

despite some already receiving approval to relocate to the U.S.

Joining me now is Sean Van Diver, founder and president of Afghan Evac, a coalition of organizations

that works to resettle Afghans who worked with the United States prior to the 2021 withdrawal.

Sean, almost 2,000 Afghans had already been approved to resettle in the U.S. before January 27th.

That was the date the executive action was supposed to take effect.

But overnight, the State Department canceled all flights, canceled processing.

What are you hearing from families and people

who were expecting to relocate to the U.S.? Sure. Thank you for having me on. I want to add some

clarity to that number. About 2000 was the number that we expected to travel over three months,

what we thought the pause was going to be, but it's indefinite. So people are being pulled off flights now.

Flights are being canceled. But the truth is, there are more than 10,000 Afghans who are fully

vetted, security vetted, medically cleared, and ready to go. And now they don't know what's coming

next. We've asked the State Department to give very clear guidance to them,

that we hope they're going to do that.

They haven't affirmatively confirmed that yet.

But look, the truth is, is these people who have been waiting for three and a half years in many cases

are now stuck in limbo yet again.

And it feels very much like August of 2021.
