This week’s podcast guest is Safi Rauf, an Afghan refugee who came to the U.S. as a teen and is now the President and Founder of Human First Coalition. He is a veteran and tells us about his work in Afghanistan helping to evacuate local interpreters who worked with American troops. While working there, he was taken hostage by the Taliban and he shares the astonishing story of how he ended up being released. He also talks about the Afghan Adjustment Act and the obstacles he’s run into while advocating for it. Plus, writers Rob Christensen and Tocarra Mallard stop by to indulge in a little schadenfreude about Trump’s very bad midterms week. Listen to the full episode on Apple Podcasts!

Update: Since the recording of this podcast, allegations have surfaced against Safi Rauf and his organization Human First Coalition, alleging fraud and mistreatment. We are keeping a close eye on developments and will keep our audience posted on any development related to these claims.
