First US evacuation flight brings 200 Afghans to new home

An airliner carrying the 221 Afghans, including 57 children and 15 babies, according to the internal document obtained by The Associated Press, touched down at Washington Dulles International Airport in the early morning hours, according to tracking of the flight by FlightAware.

The evacuation flights, resettling former translators and others who fear retaliation from Afghanistan’s Taliban for having worked with American servicemembers and civilians, are highlighting American uncertainty about how Afghanistan’s government and military will fare after the last U.S. combat forces leave that country in coming weeks.They were expected to stay at Fort Lee, Virginia for several days, U.S. officials said earlier this month.

Subsequent flights are due to bring more of the applicants who are farthest along in the process of getting visas, having already won approval and cleared security screening.

Is it just me of does this have strong Saigon, April 1975 vibes?

Welcome to the racist United States of America.

The guy who shot and mass murdered dozens of Americans had that nightclub was also in Afghan. Wonder how many future shooters are in there.

Brought traitors to their own nation back..... Who supported foreign Invaders

I guess there’s going to be a parade of American-Afghan friendship day soon.

They should have fought harder and won

Good. God bless them. I hope they feel welcome and supported.

Now they will blast bomb in America

I'm disappointed in Biden's admin. I've supported their policies up to now. They shouldn't have withdrawal our military until the Afghan soldiers got to safe ground. They did it ass backwards. I fear our aliens will die there.

We have no vacancy

CitizenKayS Welcome!!!

Embarrassed and defeated US and Nato terrorists fled from Afghanistan and now carrying all afghanis puppets who have their secrets Shame is your destiny

Afghanistan is so unsafe country it means

Gaddaraan e Afghanistan Who worked against own country and people ... do not deserve to live on this land ... They will be launched again in Afghanistan .....by CIA

BreakingKind That's nice.

I hope they come to my city and their children end up in my ELD program. It would be an honor.

I hope the US evacuated the immediate families of these translators, too.

Hope these Afghans don’t get the rug pulled out from under them 😉

Good for those people...good good good..

What's the hold up? Bring them all. No man left behind.

This is great news

Welcome. And thank you for your service.

Oh thank goodness 👏👏👏

Seems like George Bush could help them all out just a little. Between painting pictures.

1975, is that you?

Bring more

It's good we are honoring our commitment to those who stood in the gap for us.

We need to get them all out of there and to a safer locations. All NATO countries should be participating

Alhamdulillah. May Allah bring peace in Afghanistan and the entire world 🌎. Amin🤲🤲

Hate to say it...there's at least 4 dozen other countries they would have been better off in (for their quality of life. I'm not mad we're taking them. Just mad I was born here) 😭
