Joe Biden’s disaster in Afghanistan has stranded between 100 and 200 American citizens.
ABC News reports that they want to return to the U.S., but cannot.
One of them is just three years old.
The young boy was born near Sacramento and he has a U.S. passport showing he’s a U.S. citizen.
His identity is hidden out of fear of being captured by the Taliban.
ABC News is also hiding the identity of the boy’s father and other family members. They are all permanent U.S. residents.
To make matters even worse, the family has been physically beaten by the Taliban at one of their “checkpoints.”
According to veterans advocate James Brown, the young boy and his father approached the airport, but the Taliban attacked them.
Brown said, “And they were stopped by a Taliban checkpoint, and they received physical beatings at the gate and they were pushed back where they had to flee and return to a safe house.”
Brown has been working to get the family safe passage through the Kabul airport to the states. He contacted Representative Jackie Speier and her staff.
Brown said, “They’ve also made numerous phone calls to the White House, to the Secretary of Defense’s Office, and to the Secretary of State’s office escalating this family’s case all the way to the top for us.”
Speier wrote a letter To Whom It May Concern, “I believe it is of particular and urgent concern that these individuals be allowed to pass through the gate and be given safe refuge at Hamid Karzai International Airport … so that they might be available for departure.”
More from Western Journal:
KGO learned that the boy and his family had since joined with other Americans trapped behind enemy lines and were secretly on the move, though further information was unavailable.
The Pentagon has acknowledged that hundreds of people have been similarly left behind despite Biden’s promise that U.S. forces would stay until every last person who wished to be evacuated was brought to safety.
Still, with many fraught stories surely continuing to play out, Biden took a victory lap and called the operation an “extraordinary success” in his remarks Tuesday.
“We completed one of the biggest airlifts in history with more than 120,000 people evacuated to safety,” Biden said in his address to the nation.
“That number is more than double what most experts thought were possible. No nation, no nation has ever done anything like it in all of history,” he boasted. “Only the United States had the capacity and the will and the ability to do it, and we did it today.”
“The extraordinary success of this mission was due to the incredible skill, bravely and selfless courage of the United States military and our diplomats and our intelligence professionals,” the president said.
Even if a sizeable number have made it to safety, it’s hard to believe that an American president would consider this botched, haphazard evacuation a “success” when so many American citizens and those who helped the U.S. war effort have been left behind.
How long will ABC keep reporting on this family and others?
“He chose to stay”
"The young boy was born near Sacramento"
Pretender Prez needs to contact Carter and find out how to deal with Biden’s Afghanistan Hostage Crisis.
Did the counter start at 12:00:01 a.m. on September 1?
So the parents are not US citizens, but they had their baby here, so he’s a citizen?
Kick them out to Afghanistan so they, too, can be with their family there. That’s why the kid is there.
Unless it’s to be abused by the Taliban.
May I be allowed to correct this?
The young boy was born near Sacramento and he has a U.S. passport showing he’s a U.S. citizen.
The young boys family, from Afghanistan, came to the USA as refugees because they were scared for their lives and told the USA that if they lived in Afghanistan another day they would all die. They made it to America where his mother quickly got pregnant and popped out a US citizen due to the completely abused and misused Birthright Citizenship bullsh*t.
Now, the family traveled back to the country they were so afraid of because they would die if they stayed, to visit someone. And they now find themselves stuck.
Fixed it.
More importantly, I do not care. He ain’t a citizen. His family ain’t citizens.
Over 2400 members of the US Military gave their lives so this family and the rest of them could have a functioning country. The Afghani’s no matter where they are in the world hav le forfeit any opportunities afforded to them. And every single one of them should be sent back to that dump.
Is that too harsh?
You linked via Facebook ug, have them blocked
Future President according to some around here.
I need to get my oil changed next week..,
The Taliban closed Kabul Disney!
The entire Demonrat Party is despicable and pathetic.
Agree 100% — Wait until it all comes out about Afghan refugee scammers here
I am sick and tired of citizens of convenience, if they came to American became US citizens, they should’ve renounced their Afghanistan citizenship. What in the world are they going to a war zone with kids. They are an Afghan problem not an American problem, except to put the on no fly list. Let them stay in Afghanistan since they thought it was so important to go there.
They need to work with the British because the US side is completely compromised.
so his idiot parents were safe here in the US but went back to the hell hole they crawled out of. got it.
Like the ones who stay when a hurricane is coming, have days worth of notice to leave and then call 911 in the middle of the hurricane to be rescued.
So where’s his father now?
