An Afghan man who worked for the U.S. in Afghanistan says the Biden administration ignored his pleas for help to evacuate his two young sons from Afghanistan after their mother died. A group has filed a lawsuit against Secretary of State Antony Blinken.
Two years later, Mohammad said he regrets leaving them, and wished he had never worked for the U.S. government given the price he has paid.
He sent another letter to the State Department on Sept. 9 asking that his sons be granted humanitarian parole, but again he said he got no response. He also contacted his California lawmakers. The lawsuit states that “removing his children from Afghanistan, where they are in daily peril, and reuniting them with their only remaining parent is essential to their survival and wellbeing.”
