Afghan refugees await registration at a United Nations High Commissioner for Refugees office in Pakistan.Fayaz Aziz/Reuters Several Afghan refugees in Pakistan who were promised relocation to the US are now facing deportation, CNN reports. For Afghans who served the US military, returning to a Taliban regime could be a death sentence. One expert told CNN many Afghans have yet to receive visas because the US has not established a processing center in Pakistan. After the Taliban overthrew the Afghanistan government on August 15, 2021, hundreds of thousands of Afghans fled the country, fearing for their lives under the new regime.
