Afghan Refugees Housed At Fort Bliss

Fort Bliss in El Paso is one of four military installations hosting evacuees from Afghanistan after the Taliban took control of the country. There are about 1,200 Afghans currently housed at Fort Bliss, and the Department of Defense says they’ll be there for a while, while they obtain their visas. The Customs and Border Protection is speeding up the process as they also undergo medical screening. Today, Congressman Tony Gonzales will visit the facility.
