BREAKING from #Afghanistan: While the Biden administration claims to be ramping up evacuations, military evacuations are getting cancelled.
One of our #SIV clients just had his flight to safety cancelled with the following note:
"Due to present security conditions, we are unfortunately unable to offer you relocation on this flight. Please DO NOT report to the airport. Continue to shelter in place. We will maintain your information on record and seek to offer you relocation options as soon as possible."
The security of our Afghan allies grows more dire by the hour.
The Biden administration needs to get as many people as possible on planes before it is too late. #SaveOurAllies

Among these policies are questionable social media screenings and bulk data matching techniques the likes of which the FBI was using to spy on Americans in the NSA scandal. 3/8
