Bipartisan House Bill Would Restore Relocation Efforts for Afghan War Allies

The measure, led by Rep. Sydney Kamlager-Dove, D-Calif., alongside Reps. Mike Lawler, R-N.Y., Dina Titus, D-Nev., and Michael McCaul, R-Texas, codifies the Office of the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts (CARE), mandates a secure database to track cases, and directs the federal government to expedite family reunifications for Afghans who risked their lives alongside U.S. troops during two decades of war.

“Honoring our commitments to our Afghan allies should never be a partisan issue, but a matter of moral responsibility, national honor, and global credibility,” Kamlager-Dove said in a statement.
