Cries about "vetting" have always been lies. The U.S. govt. could re-vet these already vetted WARTIME ALLIES and bring them home. Instead, USG is working to send them to a place the State Dept. urges people to avoid due to "crime, and civil unrest."

ICE systematically arrests those who 1) entered legally, 2) stayed legal and don't charge them with crimes.
These people often get released, but only AFTER being in prison for months and AFTER losing jobs, apartments, and property seized in the arrest.

ICE continues to arrest Afghans who entered and stayed fully legally
It is an unfortunate fact in this country that you DO have something to fear from ICE, even if you're here LEGALLY, and have violated no laws/rules.

In my queue!
May God shower His infinite blessings upon you and your family and may all your Du'as come true.
Healthy people should not die within 24 hours of ICE detention. Let alone those who fought with U.S. forces. There needs to be a full investigation.

Escorted a wartime ally to an immigration appointment with #AfghanEvac #BattleBuddies this afternoon. Unfortunately, following the law to the 'T' does not prevent ICE from illegally arresting our wartime allies. With us, they know they can't do that in secret. Appt. went good.
So many people have asked me, "It's awful, but what can I do?"
Well, it's easy. And now you know.
"Destroying injustice requires long-term and persistent effort from very stubborn people who...never quit taking tiny actions on the side of justice."

Bravo. We need more GOP leaders to find a semblance of a backbone and state the obvious.
"“United States citizens, particularly those of color, live in fear. United States citizens are carrying papers to prove their citizenship. That’s wrong,” Madel said."
Thanks to BBC I was able to say publicly: Pres. Trump is dead wrong on NATO/allied support to the U.S. I want UK troops/families to know that their sacrifices were not invisible and made the world safer. Americans know the truth about their service even if Trump doesn't.

This month I was invited to submit a Statement for the Record for a congressional hearing on Afghan allies. Here's what I submitted:
Proud to be associated with this group! Join me in the fight to keep faith with wartime allies! Now more than ever, we can't stand alone!

I said what I said.
TRUTH!
Get the facts: The idea that Afghans in the U.S. are unvetted is simply a lie. Here's what the vetting looks like for the USRAP path. See this link for the others: afghanevac.org/vetting
If you don't know any Afghans, queue up Beth's podcast for your next commute so you can hear from me about some #AfghansIKnow. If you don't personally know any Afghans and don't listen to people who do, you aren't getting unbiased information.

Merry Christmas to whoever is about to get my blood. It's a unique cocktail of stress hormones, sugar, caffeine, bourbon, and spite. You're welcome!
(p.s. give a REAL gift this season and donate blood, will ya?)
“It is definitely not fair to group all Afghans that helped us during our time in Afghanistan in that same basket as this individual"
“These guys didn’t want to leave Afghanistan,”
America should listen to those who fought alongside #AfghansIKnow

ICE illegally arrests Afghan allies who entered/stayed legally & violated no law.
This morn, I realize the same advice I gave my innocent allies to help protect them from the Taliban I now give to protect them from my own govt.
Did I order the extra helping of moral injury?
Apropos of nothing...Heinz-Wilhelm Eck, the CO of the German submarine U-852, was tried for war crimes and executed in 1945 for killing the survivors of the Peleus, a ship he had just sunk.
The XO of U-852 was also executed. His defense: He was only following COs orders.
Afghans honor Specialist Beckstrom.
I wish all Americans could see my inbox flooded with messages from Afghans condemning this attack and honoring the service of the National Guard.
These are the #AfghansIKnow
These friends, #AfghansIKnow, risked their lives providing base support logistics because they supported America's mission against the Taliban. After the Taliban attacked us, killing many and wounding 90, they were undaunted and walked through the wreckage to keep up the fight.
Don't choose, stand with both!
Yeah.
A new policy betrays an ally I personally know who:
--Took Taliban off the battlefield.
--Settled LEGALLY in the U.S.
--Works, pays taxes, supports her community.
Take 5 minutes to urge our officials to oppose this or at least exempt wartime allies.
