The FBI is investigating an alleged assault on a female service member at an Afghan refugee camp in New Mexico.
In a statement to The Hill on Friday, the 1st Armored Division at Fort Bliss, Texas, said that a female service member reported being assaulted by “a small group of male evacuees” while at the Doña Ana Complex in New Mexico on Sunday.
“We take the allegation seriously and appropriately referred the matter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the statement said. “The safety and well-being of our service members, as well as all of those on our installations, is paramount. We immediately provided appropriate care, counseling and support to the service member."
Fort Bliss also said it is “implementing additional security measures to include increased health and safety patrols, additional lighting, and enforcement of the buddy system at the Dona Ana Complex.”
“We will cooperate fully with the FBI and will continue to ensure the service member reporting this assault is fully supported,” the statement said.
The FBI confirmed to The Hill that its El Paso office is investigating the incident.
News of the alleged assault comes weeks after officials set up the camp to house individuals who had been evacuated from Afghanistan amid the chaotic U.S. exit from the country.
Republicans have slammed the Biden administration over the withdrawal, and on Friday cited the reported assault at the refugee camp to further lash out over the process for vetting refugees.
"This is yet another tragic failure in the vetting process for Afghan nationals. The American people deserve answers," tweeted Rep. Yvette Herrell (R-N.M.).
“Joe Biden made a decision to shove tens of thousands people on planes to make it look like his botched evacuation was going well,” Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas) tweeted. “The truth is he had no idea who he brought to the US. That's why I led a letter today demanding accountability and answers.”
Fort Bliss was one of eight U.S. military bases that were to house Afghan refugees. The bases were expected to house about 50,000 Afghans.
Earlier this week, an Afghan evacuee at another base in Fort McCoy, Wis., was charged criminally for attempting to engage in a sexual act with a minor.
Travis predicted this
Anybody but the liberal could have predicted this.
The soldier will be charged.
And soon these savages are going to be released into commmunities all over the U.S.
What could go wrong...

The will have no choice but to courts martial the woman. Afghani was only practicing his religion.
They are already in our commuities
Uh….some Libs are saying it’s ok. It wasn’t a sexual assault. Uh…maybe there was just a frustrated language problem.
I think understanding the language of a fist is universal. It doesn’t matter that it was a woman. It was an American soldier.

“ “We take the allegation seriously and appropriately referred the matter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” the statement said. ”
A sure fire move to make sure we never hear of this again.
Just another case of muslim speed dating. ;-)
Why aren’t military investigators, like the United States Army Criminal Investigation Command, doing the job?!?
If the FIB is involved, it already looks like a coverup.
Yeah, right.
They’ll get right on it...to sweep under their dirty rug.
And the 2nd ammendment is also already in our communities.
Uh…it’s called a “language barrier” and we as Americans who speak English need to learn their language. No matter what the language. It’s called tolerance and diversity. Don’t forget it. -extreme sarcasm
She was probably gang raped by those savages.
Oh I’m sure that will make her feel better. Nothing like having the most corrupt agency to n the country investigating a sexual assault case.
How could this be true?
Only Whites in America are violent terrorists.
How did the FBI get involved in this?
They didn’t even wait until they were off the base. I’m not nearly cynical enough.
