(Headline USA) Senators are demanding answers of the Biden administration after reports that U.S. forces helped evacuate from Afghanistan men who trafficked child brides.
Sens. Ted Cruz, R-Texas, Ron Johnson, R-Wis., Tom Cotton, R-Ark., and Kevin Cramer, R-N.D., sent a letter to President Joe Biden calling him out.
The Senators say Biden has created a “human rights crisis.”
“We write regarding credible reports that your administration’s withdrawal from Afghanistan facilitated the transport and trafficking of child brides and other Afghan girls subject to sexual abuse by Afghan men,” the letter said. “We are deeply concerned that your withdrawal has imported an acute human rights crisis to our country, in part because you and your administration appear to have been wholly unprepared for the scope and nature of the operation.”
