@BWBailey85 Suspension of #USRAP made wartime allies devastating vulnerable #P1_P2 and leave them to harassment, detention and deportation Pakistan gov to an uncertain risky life in Afghanistan @usembislamabad
@BWBailey85 I lost my home, my safety—and now, my hope. USRAP was my last chance. To the media: Please don’t let our voices fade into silence. We are not numbers—we are people, with stories that must be heard. #USResettlement @HIASrefugees @SenMarcoRubio @KristiNoem @POTUS @VP @IRAP
@BWBailey85 Why are U.S. allies (P1/P2) still suffering in Pakistan? I was detained on Aug 2 without any crime. We live in fear. @laralogan @pablomanriquez — please speak out. #AfghanAllies #EvacuateNow
@BWBailey85 After 3 years of pre-screening and medical exams, P1/P2 case holders are ready to travel. But the USRAP pause from Trump’s executive order holds us back. We ask for an exception for Afghan allies in Pakistan. #Save_Afghan_Allies_P1P2
@BWBailey85 Afghan allies in Pakistan have waited nearly 4 years — living in fear, poverty, and uncertainty. Many completed the process before the program was paused. Urgent U.S. action is needed. Delays are costing lives and hope. #AfghanAllies #EvacuateNow
@BWBailey85 We (P1 - P2) Afghan need to help, because of deportation from pakistan.
@BWBailey85 Please be the voice of those Afghan allies who are waiting for years in Pakistan gone through almost all the required processes of moving to the U.S. #save_afghan_allies_p1p2_Pakistan
@BWBailey85 Thank you for standing with Afghan allies. We are still stuck in Pakistan after completing all steps of the U.S. refugee process. The program was paused, and now we face deportation and death. Please continue to be our voice we trusted the 🇺🇸 & we still believe in its promises.
@BWBailey85 Please help Afghan refugees and p2 /to in Pakistan
@BWBailey85 Hello It has been three year since we are waiting for our case process but unfortunately there is no news on our case . president trump's suspension order is now seven months we are struggling in Pakistan with so many circumstances we are just surviveing not living a life.
@BWBailey85 I am one. I am an Afghan journalist and have been living in Pakistan for the past three years. .P2 I have, and of course I had gone through the entire process, and even the flight date for me and my family had been set, and I am still undecided.
@BWBailey85 P1 & P2 Afghan allies are living in fear of deportation from Pakistan. After years of waiting, we now face danger once again. Therefore, we urge the State Department to fulfill its commitment and end our limbo #AfghanAllies #P2 #Refugees
@BWBailey85 And besides, I personally cannot return to Afghanistan because we are facing serious threats. I would like to remind you that I have completed the entire process but I am at a loss. Please help us.
@BWBailey85 Those Afghan refugees, including myself, have been facing various problems in Pakistan for the past three years. On the one hand, there is uncertainty, and on the other hand, the Pakistani government is not extending our visas.
@BWBailey85 Thank you @BWBailey85 and Scott Bailey for shedding light on the struggles of Afghan allies in Pakistan. Your voice and support give hope to so many who are feeling forgotten. Grateful for your compassion and continued advocacy. 💙🙏

@BWBailey85 My father personally got surrounded by police while going to rent a house for a living. They took 10 thousand PKR (Pakistani Currency) out of his pocket...the ones who are responsible for the security, they themselves become a threat ....
@BWBailey85 Has human compassion been forgotten? Is this what human rights mean,to remain silent? On the other hand,all the processes are complete,yet the U.S. USRAP program for peace and safety has been stopped. In my opinion, this feels like the Day of Judgment.
@BWBailey85 Living in such conditions where there are economic problems,Raising children and providing them education is far from reach,living as a refugee in a foreign country. Living in fear and anxiety of being deported by the government.
@BWBailey85 really, Afghan allies are in stranded conditions. deportation, poverty, police harassment, depraving of kids from education and uncertainty are conditions that they're faced.
@BWBailey85 On Aug 2, I was arbitrarily detained in Pakistan. I’m a P1/P2 U.S. ally, living in fear for 3 years. @laralogan @pablomanriquez, help amplify our voices. #AfghanAllies #P1 #P2 #EvacuateNow
