Four Months After Withdrawal, Biden Admin Doesn’t Know Identities of Afghan Refugees Resettled in US More than four months after the Biden administration airlifted nearly 75,000 Afghans out of the war-torn country, it still does not know the identity or backgrounds of many who have since been resettled in the United States, according to three senators who received classified briefings on the situation. More than 12,000 Afghan refugees, and potentially more, arrived without a visa or basic identification, the Free Beaconfirst reported in October. Reports indicate that some of those airlifted to America were complicit in child trafficking and sexcrimes.
Secrecy Shrouds Afghan Refugees Sent by US to Base in Kosovo Those sent to Bondsteel (Kosovo camp) are people who require “significant further consideration,” involving analysis and interviews, before authorities feel comfortable allowing them to move on to the U.S., the senior administration official said. In some cases, the analysis has led to a determination that they are “suitable for onward travel to the United States," while in others the “work remains ongoing” and their cases remain unresolved, said the senior administration official, without giving a precise breakdown on the numbers involved. The U.S. has not sent anyone back to Afghanistan and will decide the fate of anyone who can't make it through the vetting process on an “individualized” basis, which in some cases might mean resettling them in another country, this official said.
