Afghan refugees met with deplorable conditions at Fort Bliss

EL PASO, Tex. (NewsNation Now) — No longer facing the threat of the Taliban, 3,300 Afghan refugees now temporarily living at Fort Bliss in Texas face a new challenge.
The living conditions appear filthy.
NewsNation obtained exclusive images from the bathrooms and showers refugees at Fort Bliss are using. Much of it is rusted. The floors are muddy. There are flies all over the toilets and sinks.
Those inside say there are 10 people to a room.
“It’s really just prison life,” Mariam Mustafa said. She’s an Afghan-American helping refugees. “You eat, you get fed, you get outside time and you’re back in your bunker.”
Mustafa called the conditions “inhumane.”
“They don’t have just basic necessities like a razor, a toothbrush, cream or sunblock,” she said. “We’re in the same clothes that we were in when we left you.”
That means many of the people at Fort Bliss have been wearing the same clothes for more than two weeks.
“We need things that they have promised, but haven’t received anything yet,” one refugee told NewsNation in Dari. “They give us a list and we’re told that they will visit our rooms. It has been three days — no one has checked on us yet.”
Krish O’Mara Vignarajah runs a nonprofit that helps refugees. She visited Fort Bliss when the base housed unaccompanied minors from Central and South America. Her organization, Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service, is ready to help.
She said she’s not surprised to hear about the poor conditions, but she was not expecting at least one of the issues that cropped up.
“What surprises me is they may not be receiving basic necessities such as a toothbrush or change of clothes when we’re receiving an outpouring of donations.”

Krishanti O'Mara Vignarajah (born 1979) is a Marshall Scholar[1] and an immigration advocate serving as President and CEO of Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service.[2][3][4][5][6] Previously,Vignarajah served as Policy Director to former First Lady Michelle Obama.
Career
Back from college for a summer, Vignarajah worked for Senator Paul Sarbanes.[15] She has practiced law at Jenner & Block in Washington, DC; she has clerked for Chief Judge Michael Boudin on the U.S. Court of Appeals for the First Circuit, and has taught at Georgetown University as an adjunct.[15]
She was a Senior Advisor at the U. S. Department of State under Secretary Kerry and Secretary Clinton.[15]
Working in Michelle Obama's office, Vignarajah focussed on issues "related to entrepreneurship, private sector investment, infrastructure, women’s issues, engagement with youth and religious communities, climate change, and budget development and execution".[19]
Vignarajah ran for governor of Maryland in the 2018 primary election, finishing fourth.[2] She gained "some national attention" because had she won, "she would have been the first woman, immigrant or person of color to be elected governor in the state".[2]
In 2019, she became president and CEO of the Lutheran Immigration and Refugee Service.[2] During her tenure there, the refugee resettlement agency filed litigation against the Trump administration, challenging the legality of Executive Order 13888, which seeks to give state and local officials the authority to opt out of refugee resettlement in their jurisdictions.[20][21][22] In an interview with NPR, Vignarajah described the policy as "cruel and shortsighted," and noted that "refugees that have been waiting to be reunited with their families for years may be forced to settle hundreds of miles away."[23] Vignarajah also spoke out against the Executive Order in a Baltimore Sun OpEd entitled, "The courts should declare Trump's refugee order unconstitutional."[24] The lawsuit has thus far resulted in a preliminary injunction against the policy, barring its implementation temporarily.[25][26] In response, Vignarajah told NBC News, "This injunction provides critical relief. Those who have been waiting for years to reunite with their families and friends will no longer have to choose between their loved ones and the resettlement services that are so critical in their first months as new Americans.
Bidan and team wanted Chaos in Afghanistan so they could bring over thousands of terrorists and abandoned children.
>Being held at a Military Base/Post.
>hmmmmm
>Maybe they should have stayed where they were.
>Did they fall for a trap?
kind of thinking the same thing.
the article does not mention any women, kids or families.
the person reporting the conditions worked for both Hillary and big Mike.
so why would she complain against the Bidan Adm.
Unless, it's not against the Bidan adm. It's against the Military who know what are who these refugees really are.
