Spokesman from a number of U.S. religious groups and aid agencies criticized President Biden for not helping Christians in Afghanistan to safely leave the country before the Taliban takeover. Bill Canny, executive director of the USCCB office of Migration and Refugee Service, said his group has already helped resettle some 1,000 Afghans with SIVs in the U.S. this year. But thousands remain behind, including translators and contractors who aided American troops.
