WASHINGTON — Lawmakers are calling on Trump administration officials to explain why they have refused so far to grant a visa towho they say has faced death threats and an assassination attempt from the Taliban.
The Department of Homeland Security also has failed to provide Congress with a briefing on the case despite a promise from former Secretary of Homeland Security Kirstjen Nielsen at a congressional hearing in December 2018, the letter stated. While U.S. authorities have so far declined to grant the 35-year-old Kamran a visa, one of his brothers — who also worked as an interpreter for the U.S. military — has been living in the United States for years, as has his sister, according to Kristy Perano, an American graduate student who has championed Kamran's case. Kamran first applied for a U.S. visa in 2014.
Raskin, a Democrat from Maryland, said Kamran's case is part of a much wider problem involving thousands of interpreters who served alongside Americans in Afghanistan and Iraq who are struggling to secure visas to the United States.
He's not white, so the Trump regime WANTS him to die.
No wonder people don’t like America. What a rotten deal for someone who risked his life to help save our military. This is a terrible black eye for America. But I guess S Miller feels good.
