A Michigan family “forced from their home in Yemen?” Really? These people probably have dual citizenship but are not from Michigan. We are not being told the whole story, just the bits that will sell articles.
Any Americans not in Yemen because the US government put them there had ample opportunity to get out. They probably didn’t because Yemen is home, not the US. Now they want rescue. Rest assured when it is safe to do so they’ll return “home.” Having said that I didn’t read past the point where I felt the author was not telling us vital information because that would have caused the sympathy factor and thus salability to drop.
Exactly correct, my take is that these people are in fact Yemen but somehow (marriage?) also have a US passport. I would wager very few real US citizen (US passport only) are still in Yemen.
