WASHINGTON —The Department of Homeland Security on Tuesday denied U.S. landing rights for a charter plane carrying more than 100 Americans and U.S. green card holders evacuated from Afghanistan, organizers of the flight said.
"They will not allow a charter on an international flight into a U.S. port of entry," Bryan Stern, a founder of non-profit group Project Dynamo, said of the department's Customs and Border Protection agency.
Stern spoke to Reuters from aboard a plane his group chartered from Kam Air, a private Afghan airline, that he said had been sitting for 14 hours at Abu Dhabi airport after arriving from Kabul with 117 people, including 59 children.

“Stern said intermediaries in Kabul had obtained permission from the Taliban-run Afghan Civil Aviation Authority for the groups to send a charter flight to retrieve the passengers from Kabul airport.”
Still More #ComDem_Insanity!
When we throw our citizens to the wolves we expect them to stay with the wolves until eaten.
But they included American citizens.
Well that may well be so. MSN really does suck. My gut tells me there are people on the flight that the Taliban want returned and that is why the flight is not allowed to proceed to the USA.
We must ask “mother may I” of the Taliban to retrieve our citizens and allies from the fallen Afghanistan regime.
During Xi-O’Biden’s regime, no truth comes from DC. This will end very badly.
The Taliban want returned and/or our Deep State want dead.
Earlier this month the first international flight carrying civilians since the Taliban took control of the capital Kabul took off from the main airport while charter flights were reportedly stuck on the ground at Mazar-i-Sharif, a city located some 185 miles north of the capital Kabul.
“We're working around the clock to clear any roadblocks to make sure that charter flights carrying Americans or others to whom we have a special responsibility can depart Afghanistan safely,” US Secretary of State Antony Blinken told National Public Radio. “Without personnel on the ground, we can't verify the accuracy of manifests, the identities of passengers, flight plans or aviation security protocols.”
I wonder? Could the US still be in negotiations with the Taliban about the “tribute” that is due on those we retrieve? I loath these lying vermin running our government and their “Taliban Allies” /sarcasm.
Deep state? Yep.
This was another Benghazi.
Yes. Very similar. State Department disasters.
FDR did this to a boat load of Jews during WWII .. many of them died in concentration camps later ...
“Perhaps Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis should allow them to land in Florida and tell the feds to shove it...”
Agree, let Biden shoot them down if he’s so bothered by them.
When we throw our citizens to the wolves we expect them to stay with the wolves until eaten.
Every new appearance of those who have successfully escaped brings the debacle back into the news cycle, even if only the secondary news.

Stern said the initial plan was to move the passengers to a different charter jet in the United Arab Emirates, which Customs and Border Protection cleared to ultimately land at John F. Kennedy International Airport in New York. That plan then changed to landing at Dulles airport in Virginia, before the flight was ultimately denied any landing rights in the U.S.

Among those on board are 28 Americans, 83 green card holders and six people with U.S. Special Immigration Visas, including 59 children, Reuters reported.
Organizers now have the option of using a plane from Egypt to fly them from Abu Dhabi to Cairo, where they can refuel. They could then potentially fly to Dulles airport in Virginia, but would still need security clearance to land in the United States. The cost to organizers for the new option sits at $450,000.
The State Department is like UCLA Campus.
TOTALLY WORTHLESS.
And every Statie thinks they are God.
Chuck it along with the DOJ and FBI.
Just observe Mr. Blinken, he is representative of all of them.
Just fly to Mexico and walk across the border.
That didn't seem to bother them with that first plane full of young men
Xi-O’Biden has betrayed our allies, aided the enemies of our nation, and sought constantly to destroy the USA to the point of collapse.
For that, I cannot forgive him or those who aid and abet him.
God Bless the United States of America.
I pray every day for our deliverance from those who seek to eliminate the USA. They serve the Father of Lies, Satan himself.
Correct...
It is the same type of trolling that parents would use when trying to get their teenage child to wake up & get out of bed...
Wake up and take action...
“Wake up and take action...”
I would if I could. Like I said one warning, then a suspension and then the boot. But I’m not Robinson or a mod so I’m as powerless as you.
Building Back Better huh.
