The evacuations of U.S. citizens and Afghanistan allies continue in the region as the August 31 deadline looms. Secretary of State Antony Blinken said Wednesday that he believes less than 1,000 American citizens are still in Afghanistan trying to leave the country and that 82,300 people have been flown out of Kabul since August 14. But as the deadline for U.S. troops to leave Afghanistan approaches, what does the future hold when it comes to America’s national security and keeping an eye on terrorism? This as the Taliban secures control of Afghanistan amid reports that the nation is becoming a safe haven for terrorist groups. Fox News Contributor and former CIA Station Chief Daniel Hoffman joins to weigh in on what will happen to those who don’t make it out of Afghanistan by the deadline and if the “over-the-horizon” counterterrorism capability the Biden administration keeps pushing is enough to keep terrorists at bay.
The U.S. Supreme Court has reinstated the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy set by the Trump administration, ruling that asylum seekers must wait in Mexico while authorities review their claims. While President Biden attempted to cancel this Trump-era policy, the High Court ruled 6-3 refusing to block a lower court ruling that ordered the Migrant Protection Protocols program to be reinstated. Fox News National Correspondent Bill Melugin joins to explain how this decision may impact the migrant surge at the U.S.-Mexico border. Bill breaks down what exactly the reinstating of the ‘Remain in Mexico’ policy means for border security, the plight of border patrol agents who feel overwhelmed by the surge in illegal border crossings, and how the Biden administration must revive the MPP policy thought they plan to cancel it in the future.
