How an Afghan family ended up detained by ICE amid bureaucratic limbo

An Afghan family has been split by U.S. and Canadian immigration policies. After fleeing Afghanistan, some relatives reached Canada as legal refugees, while others are detained by ICE in the United States, stalled by Trump-era asylum policy changes. The detained members are eligible for asylum in Canada but cannot fly there without a visa, currently under review. Their U.S. attorney fears they could be deported to Afghanistan. Their Canadian lawyer is pressing to fast-track their entry, a case that raises whether Canada must assist people with established ties.
