Afghan Allies and National Security

Supporting Afghan allies is both a moral obligation and a national security imperative. The unfinished evacuation and Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) backlog have left tens of thousands in limbo, while veterans report deep moral injury tied to perceived abandonment of wartime partners. The treatment of Afghan allies directly impacts U.S. global credibility, future military partnerships, veteran mental health and moral injury, and strategic trust in American commitments.

2026 Priorities Include:

• Passage of the Afghan Adjustment Act & Fulfilling Promises to Afghan Allies Act
• Restoration and streamlining of SIV processing
• Legal protections for Afghan evacuees in the U.S.
• Long-term institutional reforms to prevent future allied abandonment
