We've been hearing the pleas for information from #Afghans currently living at #EHC in Abu Dhabi. Over the coming days, the #AfghanEvac coalition will work with partners in and out of government to identify relevant stakeholders, ground truth, and to understand next steps.

It’s been nearly two years since American forces left Afghanistan but our allies are still there, left behind. It’s time to finish the job — by helping those who helped us get out of harm’s way, and by providing permanence for the Afghan allies we have already relocated to the US

Really strong floor speech last night from @amyklobuchar . Check it out and watch for her mentioning the letters we organized of former flag officers and Ambassadors to Afghanistan. Tune in to C-SPAN this morning to hear from her, @ChrisCoons , and more!

Did you know that SIVs aren't processed in order of receipt but are instead processed according to which priority tier they fall? We created an infographic to help folks better understand. It's attached here and available any time at

A year ago today at 0620PDT/0920EST/1750 Kabul time, a bomb exploded at the Abbey Gate at HKIA. 170 Afghans and 13 US service members were killed. This tragedy altered the course of the military evacuation and made an indelible mark on all of our souls.

The credit for getting it this far goes to the entire #AfghanEvac ecosystem AND to the government folks who worked hand in hand to ensure congress understand what would happen if they didn't take action. There is still more to do, but this is an unequivocal win for the team.

The language is out and 12,000 visas for SIVs are in PLUS a program extension to Dec 31, 2025, but we aren't done yet. The bill will go on the house floor tomorrow morning (as of now). Then it will go over to the senate, hopefully for final passage. We'll keep you updated.

We need to see the #AfghanAdjustmentAct introduced as soon as possible. #Afghans didn’t delay their support of our mission and we should not delay our support of their American dream.
