PESHAWAR (Pajhwok): The Trump administration has been barred from deporting an Afghan with a special visa reserved for those who have assisted the US military in the war-torn country.
The Court of Appeals for the 3rd Circuit on Wednesday issued a temporary stay of the deportation in response to an appeal from the Afghan’s lawyers, the Stars and Stripes reported.
For privacy reasons, lawyers refused to identify the Afghan, who was detained by Department of Homeland Security officials at the Newark International Airport on Monday night.
