This guy probably served with US Guardsmen or other US military, and he (and family members) came over as part of the US withdrawal evacuation.
Current US immigration policy is to arrest and process asylum seekers for deportation. If he or his family members go back to Afghanistan, they are dead.
He was basically betrayed by the organization he risked life and family for. In many cultures, that's enough to go to war over.
Sigh.
