Biden Administration Sued over Thousands of Afghan Evacuees Detained Overseas Waiting for U.S. Entry

More than two years after the Taliban took control of Afghanistan, thousands of Afghan evacuees seeking to come to the United States remain arbitrarily detained in other countries like Qatar, Kosovo and the United Arab Emirates. Many of the Afghans are living in camps that are largely coordinated, facilitated or under the control of the U.S. government. The Center for Constitutional Rights and the civil rights group Muslim Advocates recently sued the Pentagon, State Department and the Department of Homeland Security seeking governmental records about the relocation and detention of Afghan evacuees. “What this lawsuit hopes to achieve is to provide more information to humanitarian, human rights and civil society organizations … to intervene and prevent the continued detention of these Afghan civilians,” says CCR attorney Sadaf Doost.

They should be training and organizing to return to their own country.

On any given day, 1 billion people would prefer to live in the United States. How many should the United States take in, Amy?

Why try so hard to come to America if there’s been so much injustice and discrimination “At the Hands of the United States”?
Further, if Afghan refugees are so angry & blaming of the US, why would we want them here?

[msb]

Let them come over they will allow others but not them.🤷🏽‍♀️

[IRunUltra]

No they dont need to come to the US. Kept them there.

[katferguson]

Didn't Biden say this was a success. He needs a new dictionary.

[stephendalton]

The sense of entitlement of these people is astounding

[MichaelSharpBLACKDRUMMIKE]

20 years is not a hasty withdrawal. Either fight the Taliban or be their slaves. it's your choice.

[YaleinPrague]

They can take their case to a country in their country

[cev]

They should be moving to neighboring countries, not halfway around the world. Same for all immigrants everywhere.

[kennybachman]

Lol, sue the government for records. 🤣 Y’all don’t know who you’re dealing with huh?

[ysosirius]

If America is such a bad country why come here?

[ripadipaflipa]

I would like to know what the White House would be doing if any of these refugees were their own family members?

[benjaminfranklin]

The constitution allows the United States to discriminate against noncitizens who don't live in the United States.

[benjaminfranklin]

Do noncitizens who do not live in the United States have constitutional rights?

[doubleseven]

So, the Afghan war and democratic heros should go to the US MX border, apparently.

coverage by Democracy Now is excellent..respected audience 'This issue Needs to be understood in broader spectrum'..

[leoniegureghian]

Why all kinds of assistance are given to the illegal immigrants AND NOT to the ones whose country is not only in shambles, but getting more dangerous to live in?

Why is that ?
Let’s be honest …

[juelasejdo]

They can’t force themselves into someone else’s house. They should be appreciative of the help they are getting in those countries that are hosting them. Countries like Kosova are poor countries yet they opened the door to these people. I would urge them to not bite the hand that is feeding them. I would encourage them to work with the hosting countries and raise awareness but not sue your allies.

Stop the boats! Then they won't drown.
