A total of 11 flights filled with Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan were flown to Volk Field Air National Guard Base in Juneau County, Wisconsin, late last week, according to local reports.
Officials at Fort McCoy, also in Wisconsin, where thousands of Afghans are set to be housed, confirmed to WMTV15 News that the 11 flights of Afghans had arrived in the state, though the total number of Afghans on board was not revealed.
In Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, 250 to 300 Afghans have landed to be resettled in the area.
The State Department has designated Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania has a resettlement city for thousands of Afghans.
President Joe Biden's administration has undertaken a massive refugee resettlement operation that expects to bring tens of thousands, potentially hundreds of thousands, of Afghans to the United States for permanent resettlement.
Though Biden has touted that Afghans are being screened at U.S. Military bases abroad, he has ignored that they are also being flown to the U.S. before having completed their visa processing.
Specifically, Afghans are being sent to Fort McCoy, Fort Bliss in Texas, Fort Lee in Virginia, and Fort Dix in New Jersey to continue their processing.
