As Afghanistan falls to the Taliban, US groups prepare for a wave of migrants
CNN
It's a picture that went viral and stunned people around the world earlier this week: Approximately 820 Afghan refugees packed aboard a US military C-17 plane. Men, women, and children all huddled together as they escape Taliban rule for a new life in the United States.
As Americans watch Afghans desperately flee their country, groups that provide services for refugees are scrambling to help them. Since President Joe Biden announced in April that the US would withdraw all troops from Afghanistan, refugee advocates have urged the federal government to speed up the immigration process to ensure as many Afghan evacuees as possible can get out safely and quickly.More Related News
