Christian leaders urge the Trump administration to reconsider deportations of Afghan Christians who face torture or death, seeing an opportunity for President Donald Trump to correct a Biden-era mistake.

Christian leaders in Afghanistan are urging President Donald Trump's administration to reconsider deportation plans for Afghan Christians who face torture and death under Taliban rule, citing a Biden-era policy mistake that prioritized national security over human rights. The faith leaders believe the US has a moral obligation to protect its citizens from persecution. Thousands of Afghan Christians have already been deported since 2018, with many facing life-threatening conditions in their home countries. Trump's administration is said to be weighing its response to the crisis.
