First Afghan Interpreters Arrive in Virginia

First Afghan Interpreters Arrive in Virginia More than 200 Afghans are expected to spend a week at Fort Lee before being resettled. The first planeload of Afghan interpreters who helped American troops in combat has arrived in the United States. More than 200 Afghans, including family members of people who worked with U.S. forces, were on the first flight out of Afghanistan to Virginia, said Russ Travers, the deputy homeland security advisor on the National Security Council. But more than 2,000 other interpreters and dependents have completed most or all of the security screening and are still awaiting their trip to the United States.
