Fort Bliss: Biden administration on Friday gave the first public view in the United States military base where Afghanistan was flown from Afghanistan being played, in the midst of questions about how the government took care of refugees and watched them.
“Every Afghanistan here with us has experienced a terrible trip and they are now faced with a very real challenge from acclimatization with life in the United States,” Liz Gracon, a senior electricity department official, told reporters.
A three-hour tour at Pangkalan Fort Bliss Army in El Paso, Texas, is the first time the media has been given broad access to one of the eight US military installations that accommodate Afghanistan.
But even so, reporters, including those with the Associated Press, are not allowed to talk to Evakary or spend more than a few minutes in the area where they gather, with military officials quoting “privacy issues”.
Nearly 10,000 evacuees Afghanistan lived at the base while they underwent medical and security checks before resumption in the United States.
This operation was explained by officials in the Homeland Security Department and the State Department as an “historic” and “unprecedented” effort to facilitate the relocation of a large number of refugees in less than one month.
On Friday, Afghan children with soccer balls and basketball playing outside the big white tent.
The family walked down the ground road with a stack of plastic containers stacked under chin and soft drinks under their arms.
A young girl, still wearing dirty clothes, crying in the middle of the road after the food spilled and the army tried to help him.
Inside the container, where refugees have spent around 15 minutes in line in the hot sun, is a traditional Afghan food from Basmati rice and a warm soup.
The US government spends two weeks build what is called the village to accommodate Afghanistan at the base.
This is a vast area with hundreds of air-conditioned tents that are used as a dormitory and dining room in Lot dirt, landscapes which are in some ways resembling the parts of the country they release.
The base was previously used to hold migrant children in 2016.
Under a program called “welcome allied operations”, around 50,000 Afghans are expected to be treated in the United States, including translators, drivers, and others who helped the US military for 20- The war of the year and who feared retaliation by the Taliban after they quickly seized power last month.
Nearly 130,000 were flown from Afghanistan in one of the biggest mass evacuations in US history.
Many of these people are still on their way undergoing security and screening examinations in other countries, including Germany, Spain, Kuwait and Qatar.
Congress members have questioned whether screening is quite careful.
Many Afghans who work for the US government have considered many years before they are employed, and once again to submit a special immigrant visa for US allies.
After they were released from the base, they would be assisted by resettlement institutions in charge of placing refugees.
The agent gives priority to places where refugees already have families in the United States or there are Afghan immigrant communities with resources to help them begin new lives in foreign countries.
Those who have citizenship or American green cards can go so arrive at the base, according to the State Department representative.
If another Evakary – the release depends on the completion of the health protocol mandated by controlling centers and disease prevention – choose to go before the full resettlement period, which can be used against them.
So far, no one in Fort Bliss has been released for resettlement.
Pentagon said all refugees were tested for Covid-19 after arriving at Dulles International Airport outside Washington.
The Biden government also uses a base to accommodate thousands of immigrant children, mostly from Central America, which has crossed the As-Mexican border in recording its own numbers, without adults.
Children are placed there until they can be reunited with relatives that already exist in the United States or with sponsors, usually family friends, or sent to licensed facilities.
