"An estimated 200 family members of U.S. troops are in Afghanistan and attempting to flee the Taliban through the U.S. Refugees Admissions Program, or USRAP, said Shawn VanDiver, president of AfghanEvac, an organization that helps Afghan allies relocate.

Trump suspended that program under the order, "Realigning the United States Refugee Admissions Program," which he signed his first day in office.

"They feel betrayed, they feel let down," VanDiver said of the troops trying to get their families into the country.

Under President Joe Biden's administration, a special exemption was made for families of U.S. service members to enter the country through the refugee program.

The stated reason for the order was that the influx of immigration into the U.S. has strained states' resources. The suspension of the program goes into effect Jan. 27."

What's the point of this other than sadism?

MAGA disgusts me.

For those of you MAGA vainly attempting to paint Donald's first week as some sort of triumph----

Here's yet another example of him behaving like a nasty, orange clown.

Is the demented orange pedo going to invite the taliban to Camp David again?

Musk has determined white people too stupid and lazy to be of any use in the future.

Happy extinction.

Wait, whut??? When did we pull the hell out of Afghanistan?

I guess they didn't mean too much to Biden. Now corky got his crocodile tears flowing like Niagra.

I'm a bit confused. Why are they still there, 4 years after the troop withdrawal? And if they are "families of US Troops", why do they require the United States Refugee Assistance Program to get out?

------- retarded idiot.

So surprised that the resident expert on everything can't figure out what a war bride is, but, hey, nobody falls for that -------- Miranda.

#10,

Dont ask questions like that. Makes Democrats look stupid.

Trying to blame Trump for this is stupid.

Now that I think about it, it sounds even more stupid.

U.S. Troops were not allowed to take family there on combat tours, so how did they get there? They certainly weren't having sex with Afghan women, there were no prostitutes there.

This whole article doesn't make sense and sounds made up.
