Critics are outraged at the Biden administration for refusing to release an Afghan ally who was arrested for illegally crossing the southern border last year
He was reportedly told to contact his country's consulate, which is the Taliban, and the same group hunting him.
"We abandoned our allies in Afghanistan in August 2021, when we forfeited at Bagram Air Force Base and left our American civilians there," Robicahux said."We left our interpreters there and created a scenario where a Taliban is in charge and actually systematically going after interpreters and soldiers like Abdul Wasi Safi, who served alongside of us for 20 years, and systematically beating them, torturing them, persecuting them and killing them.
The effort to secure Safi's release has become increasingly bipartisan in nature, with Reps. Michael Waltz, R-Fla., Dan Crenshaw, R-Texas, and Sheila Jackson Lee, D-Texas, all banding together on the issue. "If I had any hope about it, it's because of the fact that this is a bipartisan issue now, and I'm very proud to see," said Robichaux, who served eight tours of duty as a Marine in Afghanistan.
