More than 5,000 Afghans living in the United States were labeled as a potential threat, raising concerns about Operation Allies Welcome. Thousands of Afghan refugees who arrived in the U.S. after 2021 have become a significant concern for American national security.

U.S. officials said that some people have past activities or potential affiliations that might pose risks to American residents and the law. Because of incidents involving National Guard shootings and terrorist plots, governments are keeping Afghan refugees under strict surveillance.

Temporary restrictions have been imposed on new visa cases. According to U.S. media, out of the Afghan refugees relocated to the U.S. after 2021, 5,005 people had been flagged because of country security concerns.

Overall, 6,868 Afghan refugees were related to “potential negative information,” including 956 people of public protection safety concern and 876 individuals suspected of fraud. This data was supplied to Senator Chuck Grassley by the U.S. Department of Homeland Security (DHS).

It’s worth noting that these Afghans were brought under the Operation Allies Welcome program, implemented in 2021 after the U.S. army withdrawal from Afghanistan. U.S. media reports suggest that by September 2025, about 885 individuals still had ongoing security concerns.
