A new report from the State Department said that US agencies trying to help Afghan refugees resettle experienced racism, sexism and verbal abuse from the evacuees they were aiding.
The Inspector General report focused on the resettlement of 72,000 Afghan evacuees who were granted humanitarian parole to enter the US after the withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021 and brought to the US in 2022.
“[Resettlement agency] officials told OIG that the [Afghan Placement and Assistance Program] involved some of the most significant challenges that they had ever faced,” the report said.
