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.

"Like I said one warning, then a suspension and then the boot. "

Hmmm... What, exactly, does that mean?

Remember everything with the dirty dems is political. Just imagine the stories those aboard will have to tell. Stories of human suffering for who knows who long by how many all due to O’bidens insane policies.
This is the last thing the demonrats need. They are far better off diverting attention, of what few media will carry, about the dems not allowing the landing than the stories those aboard will tell.
Its a slick maneuver designed to kill the story all together as it ages,old stories usually don't play.

The excuse is that there was one person on the manifest who was not allowed to fly,no one said why. Meanwhile, hundreds of those and of illegals cross the Mexican border at will and no one stops these clowns. This is the worst double standard ever in the history of the country.
The story,and its a story all right, has the patriots who chartered the plane simply helping those from the State dept. “who are working so hard”(yeah right) to bring people out of Afghanistan,(instead of bringing the people out first and soldiers out last as any sane potus would have done)in other words when we do something good they take the credit. More political BS,lies and crap you should by now expect to read from the msm lying machine.

From what I have read the state dept. is pretty much run by the CIA.

Don’t get me started on the CIA. THE most worthless agency of all.
