State Department watchdog to lead review into AFG withdrawal
The State Department’s acting Inspector General will lead a review of the Biden administration’s handling of the withdrawal from AFG, including the emergency evacuation of U.S. and Afghan nationals, according to congressional officials and correspondence reviewed by CBS News.
The review, according to Shaw’s letter, will focus on four areas, including the Afghan Special Immigrant Visa Program; Afghans processed for refugee admission in the United States; the resettlement of Afghan refugees and visa recipients; and the embassy in Kabul’s emergency action planning and execution, “including the evacuation of U.S. citizens and Afghan nationals.”
