The Trump administration has deported an Afghan man to the Central African Republic, according to his attorney and advocacy groups. The man had previously been granted protection from deportation to Afghanistan over fears of Taliban retaliation, since his relatives had worked alongside US forces. One brother served in the Afghan National Army, while another was a US-trained pilot later killed by the Taliban. The deportation flight arrived in Bangui carrying 12 Afghans and eight Iranians, alongside people from Nepal and Nicaragua. It was the third such US flight to the Central African Republic this year. The removals are part of a broader pattern of third-country deportation agreements struck by the Trump administration as it accelerates immigration enforcement. Meanwhile, the US State Department warns against travel to the CAR due to unrest, crime, and terrorism risks.
