Topic: Charter Flights

The U.S. Senate defeated an amendment proposed by Senator Bill Hagerty that would have banned the use of taxpayer funds to fly migrants into the interior of the country. Reports from the border suggest the United Nations and International Office of Migration are providing logistical support and "welcome kits" to migrants. Critics argue the system is designed to suppress domestic wages with cheap labor.

Secretary of State Antony Blinken is criticized for the State Department's alleged obstruction of private charter flights attempting to evacuate Americans and allies from Afghanistan. Emails from retired Marine Eric Montalvo suggest the US government is refusing to allow these flights to land at DoD bases.
