.MaddowBlog: Ex-aide to fmr. VP Pence blames Stephen Miller and allies for sabotaging the refugee process called upon in Afghanistan evacuation efforts.
Among the questions the United States has confronted in Afghanistan is why, exactly, our allies have struggled to get their visa applications processed. At issue is a group of unique Afghans who played a special role working with, for, and alongside U.S. forces, qualifying them for a special visa category.
At issue are revelations from Olivia Troye, a lifelong Republican who served as a counterterrorism and homeland security adviser to then-Vice President Mike Pence, and who ultimatelyon her efforts to advocate for refugees during her tenure, only to confront a system that wouldn't budge, even when then-Secretary of Defense James Mattis intervened.
Troye added that Miller and the former president had"watchdogs in place" in key agencies and departments, who in turn"made an already cumbersome SIV process even more challenging."
