Washington (AP) -The Biden administration plans to begin evacuating Afghans who helped U.S. military efforts in the nearly 20-year war in the last week of July, government officials said.
Officials not allowed to comment publicly said Wednesday that Operation Allies Refuge flights from Afghanistan would be the first to be available for special immigrant visa applicants who have already applied for residence in the United States.
President Joe Biden is facing pressure from lawmakers on both sides of the aisle to plan to evacuate Afghan military aid ahead of the withdrawal of US troops next month.
