The US withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 left many Afghan allies in grave danger. Despite efforts to resettle them, many remain in limbo due to temporary legal status. Evangelical Christians and veterans’ groups have advocated for a lasting solution.
Afghan Adjustment Act
The Afghan Adjustment Act, introduced in 2022 and 2023, aimed to create a pathway to a green card and citizenship for Afghan evacuees. However, the bill failed to become law, leaving many without a permanent solution.
World Relief and AfghanEvac have worked to support Afghan evacuees, with many evangelical Christians recognizing the moral crisis at stake. The US Refugee Admissions Program has been effectively closed, and Temporary Protected Status was terminated for nearly 12,000 Afghans in 2025.
Call to Action
A new bill, the Afghanistan TPS Act of 2026, has been proposed to re-secure TPS for Afghans. It is essential for the US to fulfill its promises to Afghan allies and provide a lasting solution. By doing so, the US can demonstrate its commitment to its values and protect those who have stood with the country.
