Afghan evacuation raises concerns about child trafficking
AP ^ | Sep 3 | By MATTHEW LEE

WASHINGTON (AP) — U.S. officials are looking into reports that in the frantic evacuation of desperate Afghans from Kabul, older men were admitted together with young girls they claimed as “brides” or otherwise sexually abused.

U.S. officials at intake centers in the United Arab Emirates and in Wisconsin have identified numerous incidents in which Afghan girls have been presented to authorities as the “wives” of much older men. While child marriage is not uncommon in Afghanistan, the U.S. has strict policies against human trafficking that include prosecutions for offenders and sanctions for countries that don’t crack down on it.

One internal document seen by The Associated Press says the State Department has sought “urgent guidance” from other agencies after purported child brides were brought to Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. Another document, described to the AP by officials familiar with it, says Afghan girls at a transit site in Abu Dhabi have alleged they have been raped by older men they were forced to marry in order to escape Afghanistan.

The State Department had no immediate comment on the documents or the veracity of the details in them. Officials say that they take all such allegations seriously but that many of them are anecdotal and difficult to prove, particularly amid the crush of Afghan evacuees at multiple locations in the Middle East, Europe and the United States.

10% of the children went to the BIG GUY
and his pedophilic son.

No doubt the DO”J” ‘escorted’ the children to their doom.

The Taliban had complete control the entry gates and all around the airport. No one entered without their permission. This was the arrangement made by President Biden. Could their be any doubt that Americans and US visa holders were denied entrance, only Muslims whom they wanted passed through. There is no question in my mind that we just imported a small army of Islam.

Historically, in Islam’s conquest of countries, they have propositioned fighters within the country to be subdued. They have had great success in their conquests.

The girls need to be taken from these”husbands” and sent to a safe place and those men need to be arrested-they are not 18 year old guys-they are older men-so let them enjoy FLDS leader Warren Jeffs’ fate-sex with someone underage by an adult is a crime in this country...

Some Afghan dude comes with his multiple 12 year old brides. What’s the US going to do about it?

Nothing

The left is exposing this?

I am genuinely surprised.

Well, no s*** Sherlock. This is rampant at the southern border and why Trump separated “Uncle Jose” from his 3 “nieces” who he didn’t know their last names.

No worries..

Congress, led by Nanzi Pelousy will make a special exception for Muzzies to bang little girls and keep them as brides. I mean, we wouldn't dare DISCRIMINATE against anyone based on THEIR religion (even though Christians are discriminated against all the time in this county).

My best advice for keeping YOUR children from being RAPED by these ANIMALS is to:

BUY A GOAT!

The Clintoons and 85% of the US Congress have to have a hand in this; make that two hands.

The question is will our weak and feckless government do anything about it?
Knowing pedo-Joe and his abortion loving ways, I highly doubt it.

Wonder if this is how the leftist will finally introduce legal “religious exemption” pedophilia in America?

We will see.

Sounds like they’d fit in, in Hollywood, nobody would even notice teenage girls with men in their 50’s and 60’s.

There is fine line, like what do you do with women who are in their 20’s and their husbands are in their 30’s or say, early 40’s?
