Subject: Urgent Opposition to Forced Relocation of Afghan Allies and Vulnerable Refugees from Camp As Sayliyah to the Democratic Republic of Congo
May 7, 2026
Secretaries Rubio and Mullin:
We write regarding reports that the Administration is considering relocating Afghan allies and vulnerable refugees from Camp As Sayliyah (CAS) to third countries, including the Democratic Republic of Congo (DRC). Any relocation plan must be lawful, voluntary, safe, transparent, and durable. It must not be used to abandon U.S. commitments to its allies: people who were moved into U.S. supported transit for the purpose of completing protection, immigration, and resettlement processing. We must complete processing to the United States and to safety as expeditiously as possible.
This is not a temporary measure. It is a decision to abandon commitments the United States has already made. It also refl ects a dismissal of the humanitarian promises we have as a country to the most vulnerable people we have made commitments to.
More than 1,100 Afghan allies and their families remain at CAS under U.S. authority, the vast majority of whom are fully vetted and approved refugees mere steps away from traveling to the United States. They have remained there since the refugee program was indefi nitely suspended on January 20, 2025. Many are family members of active-duty U.S. servicemembers and Intelligence Community partners. More than half are women and children.
These individuals were moved to Qatar by the United States to complete lawful immigration processing and comprehensive vetting. They followed the rules, completed extensive vetting, and have now been held in transit for over 15 months under deteriorating conditions.
A forced, ad hoc, or non-durable relocation plan to any level 3 or 4 travel advisory countries would fail on three levels.
U.S. Allies at CAS Must Not Be Forcibly Relocated to Third Countries or Afghanistan.
Forcing Afghans at CAS to choose between living in someone else’s refugee crisis, in the DRC, or returning to Afghanistan – violating the humanitarian principle of non refoulement – is morally reprehensible and wrong as a matter of policy.
Further, this plan for Afghans at CAS is part and parcel of the Trump administration’s “third country removals” policy: making deals with corrupt and abusive governments to accept immigrants deported from the United States to dangerous countries to which they have no connection.
The U.S. government should complete processing rapidly for Afghans at CAS. Few steps remain in the vast majority of the cases. Individuals who can lawfully complete screening, vetting, and admissibility review should be admitted to the United States without delay. That is the outcome they were processed for, and it remains the appropriate and intended destination.
For individuals who are unable to proceed to the United States due to security-related determinations, the alternative cannot be indefinite limbo or transfer to unsafe environments. Any third-country option must provide durable protection, including legal status, the right to work, freedom of movement, access to services, family unity, and a credible path to permanent integration in the receiving community.
Second, it is legally questionable.
The United States assumed a duty of care when it moved these individuals into transit under U.S. authority. That obligation does not disappear because policy priorities have shifted.
This is a moral failure
Afghans at Camp As Sayliyah risked their lives in support of U.S. operations and in many cases to serve U.S. humanitarian programming abroad. The promise to bring them to safety was not conditional. It was earned, and it reflects a responsibility to protect that we as a community need to honor.
The past year and a half has seen families torn apart, and promises broken on every level of the refugee experience. For those at CAS, they have undergone some of the most rigorous vetting in the history of U.S. immigration. They are approved refugees. Many are entitled to family reunification under existing law.
Abandoning these allies sets a dangerous precedent for the United States. If the United States can indefinitely hold approved refugees in transit and then redirect them to third countries, future partners will not trust American assurances. That risk extends well beyond Afghanistan.
This situation did not emerge overnight. It reflects a broader pattern:
- Suspension of refugee processing in January 2025, resulting in the languishing of over 120,000 people destined for the U.S. with no permanent solution
- Elimination of CARE and termination of Enduring Welcome
- Slowdown of SIV processing
- Attempts to repatriate Afghans awaiting U.S. processing with little transparency
Taken together, these actions represent a systematic effort to avoid, rather than fulfill, U.S. obligations.
For more than 15 months, many across the refugee resettlement, faith partner, and other coalitions have engaged in good faith. We have sent dozens of communications, provided real-time information from families at CAS, and offered solutions. We have not received a single principal-level meeting.
At this point, the path forward is clear.
We call on the Administration to:
- Complete processing for all CAS residents and afford exceptions necessary to enter the United States in the context of the travel and refugee bans. Immediately admit who can lawfully complete screening, vetting, and admissibility review, consistent with existing commitments and processing pathways
- Prohibit the use of third-country relocation as a substitute for U.S. resettlement
- Establish durable third-country resettlement pathways for individuals who are unable to proceed to the United States due to security-related determinations, ensuring legal status, the right to work, freedom of movement, access to services, family unity, and a path to permanent integration
- Limit any third-country relocation options to countries that can demonstrably provide safety and stability, using the Department of State’s Travel Advisory system as a baseline indicator, with no placements in Level 3 or Level 4 countries
- Ensure any relocation is voluntary, informed, and individually reviewed, with clear communication of rights and long-term status
- Maintain safe and humane conditions at CAS while all relocation and resettlement pathways are executed
- Resume full processing of SIV, refugee, and family reunification cases
- Brief Congress on the legal authority for continued custody, transfer, or relocation of CAS residents
- Meet immediately with coalition representatives and impacted families
- Commit publicly to resolving this situation in line with U.S. law, established commitments, and basic standards of humanitarian protection
The coalition behind this effort includes veterans, military families, faith leaders, resettlement agencies, civil rights organizations, and frontline civilians. It is bipartisan and has been from the beginning.
America made a promise. For those who can lawfully complete screening and resettle in the United States, that pathway should be honored.
For those who cannot, the answer cannot be limbo, coercion, or return to danger. It must be durable protection and the ability to restart their lives, safely.
These families upheld their end. The question now is whether we will uphold ours.
The consequences extend beyond the 1,100 individuals at CAS. They affect every future conflict where the United States relies on local partners. They reflect the future of the refugee protection system itself.
We urge you to choose to honor those commitments.
Respectfully,
Shawn VanDiver
