Americans Trapped Behind Enemy Lines
Senator Tom Cotton has released reports that there are Americans stuck in Afghanistan. There is currently little the American government can do for those who are stuck behind Taliban checkpoints.
Due to reports of gunfire at the airport, all commercial air travel has been halted and only diplomats are being taken out of the country on military vehicles.
Cotton spokesman says that their office has heard from multiple US citizens in Kabul trapped behind Taliban checkpoints, who can’t safely reach the US perimeter and have no clear option for what to do. https://t.co/rY5QTSPLKd

These Americans are being left behind as the Federal government plans to take on the coming wave of Afghan refugees.
