When Congress passed my expansion of the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa program in 2021, I got 416 votes. Now Republicans are silent. Supporting our Afghan partners who served alongside American service members shouldn’t be a partisan issue.

ALERT: Taliban Confirm Detention of Two Americans For First Time, Most Likely Including Afghan-American Mahmood Shah Habibi The Taliban have, for the first time, officially confirmed that two American citizens are being held in Afghanistan, most likely including Afghan-American businessman Mahmood Shah Habibi. Speaking to TOLOnews, Taliban spokesman Zabihullah Mujahid said: “Two Americans are still in detention in Afghanistan. They were arrested for violating Afghan law. There are ways to resolve such issues, and in my view, the matter is not very serious. It is possible that their cases will be resolved soon. Their detention is legal, and their cases are in the courts. They had legal files, and we hope the issue will be resolved.” According to U.S. officials, one of the detainees is Dennis Coyle, an American academic and researcher who traveled to Afghanistan in 2025. Details about his detention remain limited, but he is reportedly under Afghan custody. The second, Mahmood Shah Habibi, is an Afghan-American businessman and former head of the civil aviation authority under the previous Afghan government. He disappeared in Kabul in 2022, and U.S. authorities believe he may be held by Afghan officials, although the Taliban have previously denied having him in custody. The Taliban’s confirmation comes as the U.S. Department of State has recently designated Afghanistan as a country supporting illegal detentions, highlighting rising tensions over the treatment of foreign nationals in the country.

WATCH: Today’s terrible end-of-show editorial by Jake Tapper on CNN’s State of the Union is a desecration of the memory of the Fall of Kabul at the expense of The Current Thing. JAKE TAPPER: It was five years ago this weekend that Kabul and Afghanistan fell to the Taliban, bringing a disastrous end to America's longest war. The horrific scenes that followed still, to this day, shock the conscience. The crowds of desperate Afghans on the tarmac or packed into planes trying desperately to escape, or the 13 American service members killed in the Abbey Gate bombing along with countless Afghan civilians. Five years later, more than 2 million Afghan girls are currently blocked from attending school by the Taliban, according to UNESCO. It's now legal in Afghanistan for men to beat their wives, as long as they don't break any bones or leave any lasting injuries. Meanwhile, many Afghans who fought with the U.S., risked their lives for the U.S., remain stranded abroad after the Trump administration halted the Special Immigrant Visa program. And many of those who did make it to the United States, to this day, live in fear that their green cards will be revoked. With that legacy from the war in Afghanistan, you can forgive the American people for wondering why they should trust our leaders when they tell us that our brave service members are engaged in a vital mission. And when today's leaders glibly dismiss questions about their current mission in Iran, what the end game is? What's the plan? Whether there are adequate protections for our service members in Jordan or Kuwait, whether President Trump and Secretary Hegseth are covering up the deaths of Iranian civilians from U.S. strikes or hiding poor conditions for sailors and Marines aboard the USS Abraham Lincoln. They are just the latest in a tradition that we would struggle to call proud.
