State Dept. 'stonewalled' Sen. Sasse for weeks on number of stranded green card holders, senator says
Fox News
The State Department “stonewalled” Nebraska Republican Sen. Ben Sasse for “weeks” following repeated requests for information on the number of green-card holders stranded in Afghanistan, a spokesperson told Fox News Tuesday.
The U.S. has evacuated at least 124,000 Americans and at-risk Afghans since the Taliban takeover, but Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Monday that "several thousand" green card holders remain.
"This is a national humiliation," Sasse said in a statement. "Let’s be very clear about this: These men and women are legal permanent residents of the United States."
