DOD Reportedly Prepping US Military Bases To House Up To 30,000 Afghan Refugees, Americans Won’t Be Given Evacuation Priority

The Department of Defense (DOD) is reportedly considering housing up to 30,000 Afghan refugees at U.S. Army bases within America. The mass evacuation plan won’t prioritize American citizens living in the Taliban-strong country.

The Afghan Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) applicants will reportedly be housed at bases like Fort McCoy in Wisconsin and Fort Bliss in Texas, according to Fox News, which cited documents obtained and reviewed by the network. The documents noted that “the situation in Afghanistan may lead to DoS [Department of State] allowing Afghan SIV applicants to be moved to temporary housing locations while still being vetted for parolee status,” Fox News reported.

The Taliban took over much of Afghanistan in just over a week. The Taliban’s quick advance appeared to have caught the U.S. off guard and President Joe Biden’s administration is scrambling to evacuate the thousands of Afghan SIV applicants, their families and U.S. citizens.
