“They are thousands of miles away under an oppressive regime and we’re leaving them behind,” he said. “That’s not right.” Now they fear they will be forgotten by the U.S. government, especially since they are not American citizens. Mohammad Faizi, a green card holder from the San Diego suburb of El Cajon, said he and his wife and five children were stopped by the Taliban at a checkpoint on their way to the airport. His wife is a U.S. citizen.
Jason and others say they also believe the number of U.S. citizens is much higher than 200 people and is misleading because it does not include their family members who may be green card holders. Allied Airlift has identified 45 U.S. citizens in the country but has documents on more than 250 family members stuck there with them.
Biden count is those known about not the unknown because they didn’t register at Embassy.
