Biden Admin Blocking Entry in order to Chartered Flight Carrying Americans Rescued From Afghanistan
DHS denies landing rights to plane full of Americans and eco-friendly card holders
A nonprofit organized by a loose network of experienced and current service members to help evacuate vulnerable People in america and Afghans from Kabul is seeing a chartered flight with more than 100 Americans and green-card holders becoming denied entry to the US by the Department of Homeland Security, according to a Reuters report.
Bryan Stern, a founder of non-profit group Project Dynamo, which organized the flight, told Reuters during a call from the plan they are being held up in Abu Dhabi after arriving through Kabul with 117 individuals including 59 children. The flight includes a mix of American citizens, green card holders and SIV holders.
“ They do not allow a charter with an international flight into a U. S. port of entrance, ” Stern stated of the Custom’s and Boundary Patrol, which is part of DHS.
Stern spoke to journalists from aboard the chartered aircraft, leased from Kam Surroundings, a private Afghan airline. Stern said the group had been sitting down for 14 hours currently with no clear resolution in view.
Stern’s Project Dynamo is one of various groups working on organizing these types of flights, aimed at getting those who have been approved for admittance into the US out of Afghanistan.
It’s not obvious why the Biden Management would bar entry towards the flights. A DHS public hasn’t commented on the circumstance to the press.
An official who spoke off the record to Reuters said these people weren’t familiar with the situation, yet that the US sometimes takes time to review flight manifests before allowing chartered flights into the country. After all, Biden has repeatedly said that repatriating Americans and Afghans in danger is a top American concern.
According to Demanding, 28 Americans, 83 eco-friendly card holders and six people with SIVs.
Stern expressed his frustration with both the delay as well as the radio silence from the Biden Administration.
“ I have a big, wonderful, giant, humongous Boeing 787 that I can see parked before us, ” this individual said. “ You will find crew. I have food. ”
Strict said that he had planned in order to transfer his passengers to a chartered Ethiopian Airlines flight that would eventually get the to JFK. Customs had removed the trip, but then suddenly changed the clearance in order to Dulles International Airport outside Wa, before denying the plane landing rights anywhere in the US.
Stern said he previously received approval from nearby Afghan Aviation authorities (controlled by the Taliban government) before organizing the chartered flight.
While there of course might be legitimate reasons behind the holdup, going this particular long without any kind of conversation seems like a screwup, or possibly something worse.
We can’t help but wonder how the Trump Management would have handled this.
