Hundreds of Afghan refugees are staying at a northern Virginia campus as they await relocation to a more permanent destination.
After arriving at Dulles International Airport Friday night, refugees spent the night at Northern Virginia Community College in Annandale, news outlets report.
A college spokesperson said the refugees will stay at the campus anywhere from a few hours to a few days. Many refugees are destined for Fort McCoy in Wisconsin, Fort Bliss in Texas and Fort Lee in Virginia.
The Fairfax County Office of Emergency Management set up more than 500 cots in ballrooms and community rooms. As word of the refugees’ arrival spread, volunteers from the region’s Afghan community brought food, clothes, toiletries and other supplies and offered service as interpreters.

I'd expect a few thousand a day this coming week.
They’ll be put someplace but they’ll move to where they want to be
They can stay or go as they please.
I hope they get sent to Somaliland in Minnesota. Might as well add to the circus.
Not one of those 800 Afghans we flew to safety brought an American with them to the airport to help them escape.
Most of them not only did NOT bring an American - they were unvetted.
And they left their wives and children and flew to safety and the US gravy train without them.
Who are they? Taliban? Spies? Paki agents?

Activist Imam Fundraising For Afghan Refugees Spoke With
VA DEMOCRAT GUBERNATORIAL CANDIDATE TERRY McAULIFFE
Discussed ‘Good Purpose’ Of 9/11, Hosted Holocaust Denier

As refugees from Afghanistan pour into the Fort Lee U.S. military base in Virginia, an imam named Ammar Amonette is leading the fundraising drive for the Afghan refugees. Ammar Amonette, Imam of the Islamic Center of Virginia, is a left-wing activist who has spoken alongside Democrat then-Governor Terry McAuliffe, worked with the state’s Democrat attorney general to push hate crime legislation, held a press conference with Democrat Senator Mark Warner, and protested President Donald Trump’s travel ban on terrorism-rich countries.
In a 2004 interview unearthed by NATIONAL FILE, Amonette discussed the 9/11 attackers, saying, “Terrorism is about symbolic targets. It’s sending a political message. The World Trade Center sounds in Arabic like ‘center for globalization.’ I think they took it literally, and globalism may be a threat. But in Islamic law, even if you have a good purpose or goal, you have to follow the rules.” Amonette previously served as imam of the Colorado Muslim Society which, during his tenure, hosted an event with then-Mufti of Jerusalem and Palestine Ekrima Sabry, who has said that it is a “fairytale” that six million Jews died in the Holocaust.
Ammar Amonette’s Islamic Center of Virginia is raising money and supplies for the Afghan refugees at Fort Lee. DiscoveringIslam.org describes Michigan-born Amonette as “an American Islamic scholar who is a convert to Islam. He spent 12 years studying in Saudi Arabia. He initially studied at Umm Al-Qura University in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. He later earned a Masters at the Graduate Institute for Preparation of Imams in Mecca.” Amonette’s efforts to help the migrants was profiled this week by CBS 6 Richmond in which he stated that “It’s going to be a long process and it’s only beginning” and said “a new plane is arriving every day” to take refugees to Fort Lee.
Part of the plan.
Reprehensible.
and thousands of Americans are staying in Kabul as they await the Taliban to massacre them....
They’ll want to go where the Sharia is.
Yeah wheres the pic of the blonde European girls with their Refugees Welcome sign ???
California crumbles into the sea
That’ll be the day I go back to Annandale!
WHY are Muslim countries NOT taking any refugees?
Makes me think this was all planned to dilute American culture.
ENOUGH ALREADY.
Take them to Saudi Arabia and other Muslim countries!
Are they just leaving Americans in Afghanistan????
Wait, I thought the Afghans we're bringing over here were interpreters themselves.
Send them to Hollywood. I’m sure there will be some of those signs there.
I give it a month and they will lose track of at least 20% of them - vanished.
Sounds like a money maker for refugee agencies.
Maybe Hogan will settle them in Balwmer.
Send the Imam back to Afghanistan!
Where are the Americans stranded there? Why all these refugees and not one American saved?
You’ll go back, Jack, and do it again.
