BREAKING: U.S. House passes the Emergency Afghan Allies Extension Act. Click the link below to watch Congresswoman Tulsi Gabbards speech in support of 1,000 additional Afghan Special Immigrant Visas for the brave translators who served alongside U.S. troops in Afghanistan, and now face daily threats from the Taliban because of their service to the U.S. These Afghan interpreters and their families put their lives on the line right alongside our troops. Not carrying arms, not carrying ammunition to defend themselves, but placing their lives in the hands of our servicemembers as they worked together to complete that mission. Through that sacrifice, they became a member of our team. They felt pain with our losses and they felt victorious in our successes. The very least that we can do is to take this small step and honor our commitment to our team members by passing H.R. 5195. This is one step toward keeping our promise and beginning to repay the debt to these Afghan people who have served and sacrificed alongside us. -TG
