American personnel destroyed the passports of some Afghans when they were getting rid of all sensitive materials at the US Embassy in Kabul in preparation for a full evacuation, according an update that Rep. Andy Kim’s office is sharing with people who request assistance with evacuations from Afghanistan.
It is unclear why the passports were destroyed, but it is possible diplomats determined it would have been dangerous for the documents to fall into the hands of Taliban members, who could then target those Afghans.
Not having a passport creates major complications for Afghans who are desperately and urgently trying to get out of the country.
“Visa and passport appointments at the Embassy have been canceled, and passports that were in the Embassy’s possession have been destroyed. Currently, it is not possible to provide any further visa services in Afghanistan,” the message from Kim's office says. “The Department of State advises all people waiting for processing to find shelter and wait for further instructions. They should not go to the airport until they are called to do so and should follow the instructions carefully.” Rep. Tom Malinowski said that the US will have to come up with ways to verify the identity of Afghans whose passports were burned.
“We are going to have to take people without passports and vet them in other ways, like with their phone numbers for example. In many cases we know their contact information and their phone numbers and that is how we will have to identify them. Any Afghans braving the trip to the airport will not have wanted to go there with identifying documents, anyway,” Malinowski told CNN.
The US is not protecting the fully evacuated US Embassy in Kabul, but the compound is in a heavily fortified area, according to State Department spokesperson

Can anyone around here play this game?
So now we will let in supposed Afghans without any ID? How convenient.
Genius.
But Biden ASKED THEM PRETTY PLEASE NOT TO!!!!
Trust the experts
And there you go... idiocy on top of idiocy
PERFECT
Passports? We don’t need no stinking passports!
THOSE UPSTANDING FOLKS THAT BEHEAD INFANTS AND CHILDREN AFTER RAPING THEM
The US is not protecting the fully evacuated US Embassy in Kabul, but the compound is in a heavily fortified area, according to State Department spokesperson............. So, the taliban just waltz in, and then they own the “heavily fortified area”,and everything inside.
They probably did that on purpose, so there would be no way to research if we’re letting extremists in.
Every embassy has a evac-plan, and items like this are listed on the ‘destroy-list’. So I don’t see the big deal....they went by the plan.
if you don't have one...CREATE ONE!
Its a PLAN!...just like the border “crisis”
This makes it easier to bring in terrorists too lazy to walk across our southern ‘border’...
Hey you stupid liberals... was all this horror and inflation and open borders really worth ‘not having to read Trump’s tweets?
Yet they probably turned over all our top secret code books to the afghan army, who when they realized Biden snuck out in the middle of the night did the same and left the top secret stuff and billions in equipment, vehicles, ammo, etc.
This is the biggest national security bungle in recent memory.
“vet” them the same way you “vet” people pouring over the southern border.
it appears you “don't see” a lot of things...lol...
you'd make a great spokesman for CNN...
see post 14...sometimes you have to look at the bigger picture...
Per Dan Bongino yesterday, a big disaster is that the Taliban has been able to get the ‘bio metric’ data for everyone who has worked for/helped the US - names, addresses, fingerprints, etc.
The question came up about leaving Blackhawks ... people are saying no one in the Taliban can fly them. Well, per Dan, they know who the Afghan pilots are & where they live - they WILL fly for the Taliban or they’ll lose their families, lives, etc. - may lose it all anyway.
Mark ‘Ghost’ Geist (survivor of Benghazi) said he expects to see some mass suicides ... knows of about 600 Afghanis who are saying they will commit suicide rather than fall into the hands of the Taliban & be tortured for days before being killed. Bannon (War Room) ran out of time to talk to him - he’ll be back on in future days.

Incompetence or there are still a few American Patriots working for the State Dept. I highly doubt the latter.
I don't want a single one of the Muslims stepping on American soil. They can go to countries in their region, AFTER all Americans are evacuated. America First. Muslims Last.
