Biden releases $100 million fund to help resettle Afghan refugees

President Biden wants to use $100 million in emergency cash to help resettle thousands of Afghan translators in the United States, according to a report. 

The White House also released a further $200 million of inventory for US agencies required to meet those same needs, Reuters reported. Around 2,500 people who worked as translators or provided other services for the United States have been granted special immigration visas (SIVs) and are expected to be brought to a military base in Fort Lee, Virginia for final processing.
