Pentagon explaining that Taliban outside the airport are enforcing American admissions policy and being given lists of names(!) by the military.

Other reports are showing American soldiers preventing Afghans from boarding flights out, even on planes flown in to evacuate them to third countries. This policy is set from the top and is pretty unambiguous.https://twitter.com/AzitaGhanizada/status/1430558815867465729 …

Azita GhanizadaVerified account @AzitaGhanizadaAfghan diaspora, veteran allies, & private citizens have been working around the clock to assist getting friends/families & high risk Aghans on flights.
