A former translator for the U.S. military in Afghanistan who recently became a U.S. citizen is desperately trying to get his parents out of Kabul on special immigration visas after he successfully evacuated the country in recent days.
Every American in Afghanistan should be able to get out by the deadline on Aug. 31, Pentagon spokesman John Kirby said this week, but he was less clear about what will happen to the unknown number of Afghans who aided America over the last 20 years and have been trying to flee the country in recent weeks. The U.S. citizen who spoke to Fox News said he tried to make his way into the airport multiple times last week, but the "thousands" of people crowded outside of the gates made it "impossible." "One time, I got myself to the gate, but I was bleeding and had bruises all over my body at that time because I had to pass through all those people, pushing and pushing," the citizen, who Fox News is keeping anonymous for the safety of him and his family, said Tuesday.More Related News
