The administration of US President Donald Trump is planning to deport Afghan migrants detained in the United States to Afghanistan through Pakistan, The Associated Press reported on Sunday citing court documents.

Court documents show that the US plans to begin deporting Afghans from Louisiana to Pakistan as early as Monday, with further transportation to Afghanistan.

Human Rights First said it had confirmed a flight scheduled to carry Afghan migrants from Louisiana to Pakistan on Tuesday. The advocacy group #AfghanEvac also condemned the plan, warning of its consequences for Afghan allies.

The plan has drawn criticism from Democratic lawmakers.

Democratic Senator Richard Blumenthal said the United States was breaking its promise to Afghans who had supported American forces during the war.

Senator Tim Kaine said: “Our Afghan allies risked everything to help the United States. Now Trump plans to send their relatives back to Taliban-ruled Afghanistan. Repaying their sacrifice with betrayal is shameful and will make it much harder for America to secure assistance in future conflicts.”

Thousands of Afghans who assisted the US military or are relatives of American service members remain in uncertain circumstances after the Trump administration suspended its predecessor’s Afghan resettlement programme.

Afghanistan won the 2026 Hong Kong International Sixes title after defeating Australia by four wickets in the final on Sunday.

Batting first after winning the toss, Australia scored 115 runs in their six overs, with Max Bryant leading the innings with 44 runs.

Afghanistan chased down the target in 5.1 overs, finishing the match with five balls to spare. Imran Mir starred with the bat, scoring 53 off just 14 deliveries, including seven sixes, while Farmanullah contributed 26 runs.

Twelve teams competed in the tournament. Afghanistan reached the final after securing victories over South Africa, Oman and Scotland before overcoming Australia in the title decider to lift the trophy.

Binance, the world’s biggest cryptocurrency exchange, said it has covered $6 billion ‌of the $6.3 billion stolen from its platform by using company money to buy replacement tokens, after a hack that US officials said was carried out by a North Korean state-sponsored unit known as TraderTraitor.

“We had already covered $6B of the impacted amount of the hacked loss,” Binance said on X on Saturday, after saying ​earlier that it had covered 90% of the stolen funds, Reuters reported.

The remaining amount, now less than 10%, consists of assets that are ​less liquid and may take longer to source in the required amounts, according to Binance.

The US Federal Bureau ⁠of Investigation (FBI) said on Saturday the North Korean state-sponsored unit known as TraderTraitor was responsible for the attack.

North Korea has for years ​denied using state-linked cyber units for espionage, financial theft and revenue. Its mission in Geneva and embassy in China did not respond to ​requests for comment.

Members of the unit were observed by law enforcement converting stolen assets into the cryptocurrency ethereum, the FBI said in a statement, adding that it expects “further laundering” of the assets through the use of related technology.

Analysts had previously blamed North Korea and said it could be the largest financial heist of all ​time.

Binance has been working with industry partners to freeze some of the affected assets, with about $3 billion located as of Friday.

The company has ​repeatedly said it would bear the financial impact of the funds stolen in the hack.

The money spent re-buying tokens came from using part of its $1 ‌billion Secure ⁠Asset Fund for Users (SAFU), a bitcoin reserve it holds to protect customers in the event of security breaches, as well as some of its Futures Insurance Fund, and the company’s own corporate treasury, it said on X.

Co-CEO Yi He said on Saturday that 50% of its SAFU funds would be used, while the company said it was committing to replenishing the fund to return it to about $1 billion.

Crypto prices fell on Friday, ​while Binance sought to reassure ​customers that their funds were safe ⁠after the hack.

Co-CEO Richard Teng had said that the breach was a “complex attack” involving a compromised laptop and malicious software designed to delete evidence of its activity, making it harder to trace and investigate.

After the ​hack, the exchange stopped allowing customers to withdraw their funds, but it said on Saturday it was ​still on track ⁠to reopen withdrawals on Sunday.

Withdrawals were not open as of 02:50 GMT on Sunday.

Binance said it has set aside around $6.34 billion of company funds internally to cover the losses.

Binance also said it had taken a new snapshot of assets held on its platform as of 0000 GMT on October ⁠31, as ​part of its proof-of-reserves process.

Users holding the 10 listed tokens — BTC, ETH, USDT, BNB, ​SOL, USDC, XRP, USD1, RLUSD, and ZEC — would be able to verify that their assets were backed at a minimum ratio of 1:1 once the full proof was available, ​it said.
