Sherman (D-CA-30) 11/03/2021: Twitter thread – “(1/3) During today’s @HouseForeign hearing, I was pleased that Dep. Sec. McKeon confirmed that requiring U.S. citizens to register with the State Department when entering war zones would have vastly improved the Afghanistan evacuation. My SAFE Act (H.R. 5387) would do just that. (2/3) This is not a new issue. In the U.S.’s evacuation of 15,000 Americans from Lebanon in 2006, the subsequent GAO report found that the lack of registration significantly hampered evacuation efforts, just like it did in Afghanistan this year. (3/3) My commonsense legislation will better prepare the State Department to assist Americans in emergencies abroad. I urge my colleagues to support it. Read my bill here: Link to www.congress.gov”

In the 2 months since the evacuation, we have confirmed through congressional oversight & a briefing from fed officials that most of the evacuees didn't receive the standard vetting interviews & that individuals that pose natl security threats made it to our shores. That’s why I’m pleased #HSGAC adopted my amendment to the Inspector General Independence and Empowerment Act to ensure that appropriate IG oversight is carried out regarding the vetting & processing of the Afghan evacuees prior to their resettlement into our communities.”
