Biden Resettles 4K Afghans Across American Communities in One Week

President Joe Biden's administration has resettled about 4,000 Afghans across American communities in the last week with plans to bring an additional 5,000 Afghans to the United States in the coming week.

As part of Biden's massive Afghan resettlement operation, where at least 95,000 Afghans are expected to be resettled across 46 states, thousands are being resettled in American communities on a weekly basis after temporarily living at various U.S. military bases.

The Biden administration has now flown nearly 67,000 Afghans to the U.S. since mid-August with plans to bring thousands more from the Air Force base in Ramstein, Germany.

Currently, about 5,000 Afghans are awaiting flights to the U.S. Meanwhile, more than 55,000 Afghans remain temporarily living at U.S. bases in Wisconsin, Texas, New Mexico, Indiana, New Jersey, and Virginia.

One source close to the resettlement operation told CBS News that the Biden administration is working as quickly as possible to bring as many Afghans to the U.S. as possible.

The United States Citizenship and Immigration Services agency is receiving more and more requests from Afghans to secure "Humanitarian parole" to get into the U.S. The parole authority, deployed by the Department of Homeland Security, is being used to bring most of the tens of thousands of Afghans to the U.S. without them having qualified for refugee status, P-2 visas, or Special Immigrant Visas.

While GOP lawmakers in Congress voted last month to give the Biden administration billions in American taxpayer money for the Afghan resettlement, 18 Republican governors told Biden they approved resettling Afghans in their states despite strong opposition from Republican voters.
