BREAKING: Biden Admin Gave Taliban List Of ‘American Citizens, Green Card Holders And Afghan Allies’ That Needed To Get Into Airport: Report
The Biden administration reportedly gave the Taliban a list of the names of United States citizens, green card holders, and other Afghan allies that needed to be allowed into the airport so they could be evacuated — a decision that sparked widespread outrage from officials and critics.
“The move, detailed to POLITICO by three U.S. and congressional officials, was designed to expedite the evacuation of tens of thousands of people from Afghanistan as chaos erupted in Afghanistan’s capital city last week after the Taliban seized control of the country,” Politico reported. “But the decision to provide specific names to the Taliban, which has a history of brutally murdering Afghans who collaborated with the U.S. and other coalition forces during the conflict, has angered lawmakers and military officials.”
A Pentagon official told Politico that the Biden administration effectively “put all those Afghans on a kill list.”
“It’s just appalling and shocking and makes you feel unclean,” the official added.
Online, journalists, critics, and politicians expressed fury over the decision.
What a betrayal of our allies https://t.co/C6GzDUQqQ7

This is incomprehensible… meanwhile, I have constituents, their family and other visa holders who have tried but have NOT been able to get into the airport. I guess handing over that list to the bad guys didn’t work so well… https://t.co/g9llKHgefq

The Taliban are the gatekeepers to U.S. admission. Think about that. https://t.co/pfxZA55QII
