Reggie, an Afghan interpreter who worked with the U.S. military, watched in fear from his roof as the Taliban took over Kabul last week. He knew that he and his family were in danger of being killed by the Taliban in retaliation for his work helping the U.S.
Reggie is the nickname given to him by the Americans. For security reasons, NPR is not using his full name.
When Reggie spoke with NPR on Aug. 15, he said he couldn't sleep or relax "for a single minute" with the insurgents now in power. His family was scared too, but Reggie held on to hope that they would reach the U.S. safely.
"Because of my service, my family is suffering right now," he told Morning Edition last week. "My family, my kids is telling me that, 'Bad guy is going to come and is going to kill you, then us.' And I keep telling them, 'No, there are a lot of good friends that I have in America. I have made a lot of good friends and they're going to take us, baby, you don't have to worry about it.' "

More nonsense coming from a person that cannot even defend her own comments. She just post her nonsense and then blocks anyone that disagrees.
As to the OP, I hope we can get all of those in danger out, but I doubt it. Just identifying them is almost impossible. But we are doing a heroic effort now.

Abandoned by the Biden administration. He's lucky to be alive and I pray for his family
