WASHINGTON – U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), joined Senator Ted Cruz (R-TX) on a letter to President Biden demanding answers after Secretary of State Antony Blinken confirmed the Biden Administration facilitated the transport of Afghan men trafficking child brides and other sexual abusers into the U.S. as part of President Biden’s botched withdrawal from Afghanistan.

“These reports about trafficking and the horrific treatment of Afghan girls are in addition to reports that an Afghan male convicted of rape who had previously been deported was brought back during the evacuation,” wrote the members. “It is imperative that the Department of Defense, the Department of State and the Department of Homeland Security DHS investigate whether and to what extent these reported incidents of child trafficking from Afghanistan are occurring and to provide a full public accounting of the United States’ role in evacuating offenders.”
