Three-and-a-half years ago, the United States abruptly left Afghanistan, leaving thousands of Afghans who had served along the American military in limbo, and in danger. Some did get out, through the U.S. refugee resettlement program.

Now, that President Trump has suspended refugee resettlement programs, it’s left many of those still waiting to get out, and their families, with fewer options. Roxy Todd reports on how this has impacted one former Afghan solider, who lives in Blacksburg.
