U.S. allies in Afghanistan fear for their lives under Taliban rule

Hundreds of thousands of Afghans worked with the U.S. government and military, but most still remain in Afghanistan at risk of being persecuted by the Taliban. The U.S says many are trying to obtain special U.S. immigrant visas. Nick Schifrin spoke with a former translator for the U.S. military now in hiding and Matt Zeller, a veteran of the war in Afghanistan and co-founder of No One Left Behind.
