New: US personnel destroyed passports of some Afghans when they were getting rid of sensitive materials at the US embassy in Kabul in preparation for a full evacuation, according an update that Rep. Andy Kim’s office is sharing with people who request assistance w/evacuations.
Rep. Tom Malinowski said that the US will have to come up with ways to verify the identity of Afghans whose passports were burned. “We are going to have to take people without passports and vet them in other ways, like with their phone numbers for example. 1/
In many cases we know their contact information and their phone numbers and that is how we will have to identify them. Any Afghans braving the trip to the airport will not have wanted to go there with identifying documents, anyway,” Malinowski told CNN.
