As many as 9,000 Afghan refugees are at risk of deportation, as the Trump administration has ended the temporary protected status (TPS) that allowed them to stay in the U.S. legally. The White House says their country is no longer dangerous for them, a contention that confounds Afghanistan watchers.

When Tony Johnson walks the beach at Bay Center, a small peninsula that hooks north in Washington’s Willapa Bay, he feels connected to both the past and the present. First off, it’s called Johnson Beach, after his grandfather who was born nearby. It’s also where he and other members of the Chinook Indian Nation dig for clams and gather oysters when the tide goes out. Nearby, the early 20th Century photographer Edward Curtis took photos of Chinook people.
