Biden officials 'working around the clock' to 'vet all Afghans' before entry into US

The White House said Tuesday that intelligence and counterterrorism officials are “working around the clock” to “vet all Afghans” before allowing them to enter the United States, after safely evacuating them from Kabul in recent weeks.

"Over the last weeks, our troops completed the largest airlift in U.S. military history – carrying more than 120,000 people from Afghanistan," the White House tweeted. "Now, we are working to safely welcome the brave Afghan allies who worked with us, and other vulnerable Afghans to the U.S."  The White House said that those with SIVs and other "vulnerable Afghans are begin flown to third countries in Europe and Asia that have agreed to serve as transit hubs before undergoing robust security screening and flying to the U.S."
