The Sunday Story: An Afghan climber in limbo

Listen in app
Mina Bakhshi learned to climb mountains when she was 17 years old, in her home country of Afghanistan. But when the Taliban captured Kabul, she couldn't see a future for herself anymore.

When Mina landed in the U.S., she learned she only had two years of guaranteed stay. She is one of more than 77,000 Afghans who are currently in the U.S. on a status called humanitarian parole.

In this episode of The Sunday Story, journalist Lauren DeLaunay Miller digs into the history of humanitarian parole. And we follow Mina's journey over the last two years, as she's built a new life on unstable ground.
