Neither State nor Defense Departments has offered an update on students, Rep. Bera's office
The office of Rep. Ami Bera, D-Calif., confirmed to Fox News that two dozen Sacramento-area students are stranded in Afghanistan and the Biden administration has not provided an update on their status.
Bera’s office confirmed in an email to Fox News that the students were trapped overseas, and the California Democrat’s team has been in contact with the San Juan Unified School District (SJUSD) but has not received any update from the administration.
"Our office has been in close contact with the San Juan Unified School District, and have urgently flagged this with the Department of Defense and State Department. We have not received an update from DOD or State," Bera spokesperson Travis Horne told Fox News on Tuesday.
School district staff told the Sacramento Bee on Monday that 24 of their students had not returned from Afghanistan, which is lower than the 150 students initially thought to be stranded.
Bera began working with school district after reading the Bee’s previous reporting on the subject.
The White House didn’t respond when asked by Fox News if it had a plan to get the students home and if it was still considered inappropriate to say Americans are "stranded" in Afghanistan, as press secretary Jen Psaki previously said.
Biden has repeatedly been accused of misleading the American public as the Afghanistan crisis has unfolded.
In March, Biden vowed that the Afghanistan withdrawal would be done "in a safe and orderly way." But the withdrawal was neither safe nor orderly.
In July, Biden said it would be "highly unlikely" for the Taliban to take over the country after the U.S. pulled out.

There is absolutely no hope for a good outcome...
They are all toast... Discarded by our communist masters...
In those parts of Afghanistan the Taliban first overran recently, the Taliban showed how they treat their prisoners...
Females between 12 and 30 are converted to sex slaves for the troops...
All the rest were lined up and shot...
The menfolk were burned or decapitated...
You can imagine what they have in store for all the Christians and/or Americans left in Afghanistan...
We’ll be seeing this butchery on Taliban TV for the next year or so...
Basically, the American people do not care... They have the pandemic to worry about...
Maybe next year they plan a trip to Somalia.
They’re visiting family
Not to worry, it’s all part of the Plan©️!
A few Afghans, former translators, will be tortured and executed by the Taliwhackers, and it will be broadcast so all can see. Students and professors at the University and other Americans, will become ‘guests’ of the Taliban. Many will be interviewed on Al Jazeera and proclaim how well they are treated and ‘protected’ by their Taliwhacker ‘friends’.
The students who have both US and Afghan citizenship will ‘surprisingly’ ‘choose’ to remain in the ‘stan and all the girls will ‘surprisingly’ choose traditional clothing and marriage to their ‘loving’ Taliban masters, er, husbands.
In America, there will be on going concern about the Taliwhackers ‘guests’, and concerns about how they will get home. The PRC, being a country ‘truly friendly to all countries’ (barf), will offer to negotiate. In about a year (ie: just BEFORE midterms), arrangements will be agreed upon. The ChiComs will airlift all the ‘guests’ to Beijing and then to the US. XiJinBiden (or his replacement) will then claim that it was his negotiations through the PRC that brought the people home and the ‘presstitutes’ will spin it as ‘Biden saved all the Americans from Trumps surrender of Afghanistan’. That will be PUSHED until after the mid-terms. Morning Joe Scarberia and his little ho will be calling for XiJinBiden and Xi Jinping to get the Nobel Prize for negotiating out the Taliban’s ‘guests’. The average American, watching 10 minutes of ‘nooze’ from the MSM, will lap it up and keep the Demonrats in control of Congress.
America will provide Afghanistan with billions in aid, pull ALL US forces out of Taiwan, S. Korea, the Philippines and Japan, and refrain from ANY USN moves in the S. China Sea recognizing China’s ‘nine dash line’ as her sovereign territory.
Full surrender and TOTAL humiliation of the US, with the PRC being recognized as the world’s ONLY superpower. Friends and allies of the US, be damned!
I hope that I am wrong, but given that the PRC has bought and paid for almost ALL Demonrats, this may just be the Plan©️.
“What were they doing over there?”
Visiting family. They knew we were pulling out and figured this might be the last time they’d be able to visit for a while. I heard another American who did manage to get out, say that she & her husband did the same thing.
I believe they are Afghan-Americans, and may have been visiting their relatives.
😀👍🤗Nothing would surprise me, but I think a few were going for a funeral, and many were just along for the ride. They might be in deep kimchi. Go look at the communist newspaper.

These aren’t American kids, these are Afghan kids whose parents decided that they should spend a fun-filled summer visiting their relatives in Afghanistan. In the best of times, Afghanistan is a dangerous place, but these parents decided to send their kids into a war zone.
Are these the Afghani students visiting their relatives?
The Biden admin is between a rock and a hard place on this one.
They can’t simply announce these kids were all non=native Americans, many not even citizens.
So they allow the narrative that 24 Sacramento school kids are abandoned in Afghanistan. Allowing it to APPEAR differently than the reality.
Because they fear their woke base more than middle America.
“What were they doing over there?”
Most of their extended family lives there.
“ Any high school students who are stupid enough to travel to Afghanistan should be left there.”
Agreed…but you know there are those who’d say that’s ‘callous’, and yet we’re not the one who LEFT THEM THERE!
Young American school girls fetch a high price at auction.

Well, Xiden and the media they undoubtedly watch, told them everything was fine and under control and that the Afghan army would secure the country and the taliban was unlikely to overthrow them.
On a side note, it's amazing how some appear to first think these are American citizens, of caucasion background.
With the last 10-20 years of accelerated legal and illegal immigration...my first thought was that these students were Afghani's, 1st Gen at most.
Some dead children didn’t see that due to Biden’s actions.
