Slotkin (D-MI-8) 03/17/2022: Twitter thread – “I want to pass along a great story, and the completion of a 7-month journey many of us have been on: Last August, as Kabul fell, my team and I helped evacuate more than 114 Afghans to safety, many of whom were scientists affiliated with @MichiganStateU. 1/14 An incredibly rag-tag effort of US veterans, non-profit leaders, former national security professionals and a whole bunch of brave people on the ground in Kabul got them out to the airport, and out of the country. 2/14 Today, I'm thrilled to share that after 7 months of waiting to be screened and vetted abroad, they are arriving next week in the United States. 3/14 It all started when my team and I became aware of a group of Afghan nationals affiliated with Michigan State University who were in danger as the Taliban moved in on Kabul last summer. 4/14 A convoy to the Kabul airport, hostile Taliban and the faint hope that the gates to escape would swing open... | washingtonpost.com In addition to the 70 people in this group who were studying & working through MSU, we learned of another 30+ who were former deputy ministers & staff of the former Afghan government. All had worked for or with the U.S. & all were in danger because of their connection to us. 5/14 Over almost 2 weeks, we worked around the clock with folks across the globe to get these Afghans into a convoy of rented busses, through 28 hours trying to get past dangerous Taliban checkpoints, into the airport, onto charter flights & to safety out of Afghanistan. 6/14 Through a few amazing coincidences and connections, the Afghans were welcomed to Albania, where the government generously agreed to host them. The Foreign Minister @xhacka_olta met them on the tarmac, along with @USAmbAlbania Yuri Kim, who did so much to make it happen. 7/14 A wonderful NGO, @SpiritAmerica Worldwide, covered their expenses & cared for them as a group. I am deeply indebted to them & the Government of Albania for welcoming these Afghans in, on extremely short notice, & serving as refuge in their time of need. 8/14 In November, I led a bipartisan codel to Albania to meet with many in this group. My trip coincided with a similar trip by @SenJoniErnst & we traveled together to visit the Afghans. It's no exaggeration to say that this was one of the most moving experiences of my career. 9/14 Link to image They asked us, quite simply, not to forget them. What I told them was this: I could not forget them, because I saw in each of them the faces of my grandparents & great-grandparents who, many years ago, left their home countries for a safer & more prosperous life in the U.S. 10/14 When we returned to DC, Senator Ernst & I got dozens of members of the House and Senate, both Democrat & Republican, to sign a letter lobbying the White House to vet & let these Afghans - who risked so much for us - start a life in the U.S. 11/14 In December, I met with senior White House officials who, along with @SecMayorkas, Deputy Secretary John Tien & State Department staff, helped arrange for thorough vetting of the Afghans, & processed them for Temporary Protected Status here. 12/14 And next week, they will arrive at Dulles airport. From there, they will be placed in the cities where they have the strongest ties. 13/14 In all my years working in war zones, there are few things I'm more proud of than helping these men, women & children get a new lease on life. It won't be easy, but I can't wait to greet them as they take their first steps in the country I love & that has given me so much. 14/14”
