Americans who have watched a humanitarian crisis unfold overseas at Hamid Karzai International Airport in Kabul, Afghanistan, are doing what they can to help both U.S. citizens and Afghan nationals get out of the war-torn country, as an Aug. 31 deadline looms to complete the evacuation.
In Connecticut, immigration attorney Dana Bucin of Murtha Cullina is among those working to connect Afghan relatives of American citizens with services to move them out of the country and into safe homes in the United States. In an interview Wednesday, Bucin said time and money are critical to establishing safe passage for a group of 51 Afghans who are related by family to two of her clients in Connecticut. She has teamed up with the Connecticut Immigrant & Refugee Coalition to launch a fundraiser to assist individuals and families in the group.
