An Afghan family fled to Portland in 2023 but left their newborn son behind due to U.S. visa delays and a 2024 policy freeze.
In 2023, an Afghan family fled to Portland, Oregon, under a special immigrant visa program, but left their newborn son, Sayed Anas, behind due to bureaucratic delays and a 2024 Trump-era policy freezing Afghan visa processing.
