It was the day after the ISIS-K bombing at Abbey Gate. \u201cI know it was stupid, but I took just my chance. I ran towards the soldiers. I had my passport in my hand \u2014 shouting that I\u2019m an American citizen.\u201d&nbsp;He, his wife, and four small children have since made it to the United States.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Bacon\u2019s Deputy Chief of Staff Felix Ungerman told The Examiner of one U.S. citizen in Kabul reporting to a citizen\u2019s access point:<\/p>\n<blockquote readability=\"21\">\n<p><em>\u201cHe goes, \u2018Oh my god, he\u2019s shooting.\u2019 And I said, \u2018Please get away from there, go get to safety,\u2019\u201d Ungerman said. \u201cHis phone cut off while I could hear gunshots going off, and I couldn\u2019t get in touch with him again. I tried calling his cellphone every couple of hours to see if I could get him, tried an email, sent him a text message. And it wasn\u2019t until [Tuesday] morning that he actually texted me back and said, \u2018Yeah, I\u2019m OK, but now what do I do?\u2019 I\u2019m like, \u2018You get to somewhere safe, and you stay there until we can \u2014 our government can offer some solutions to help you.\u2019\u201d&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>CNN&nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.cnn.com\/2021\/09\/01\/politics\/state-department-official-sivs\/index.html\">reported<\/a> on Wednesday that an official from the U.S. State Department claimed they had no number of the Afghan Special Immigrant (SIV) applicants and family members who failed to board evacuation flights. \u201cMore broadly, the official described an evacuation effort confronted by numerous challenges \u2014 one that left US officials who worked on the ground \u201chaunted by the choices we had to make and by the people we were not able to help depart in this first phase of the operation,\u201d CNN noted.<\/p>\n<p>California Republican Rep.
