Ted Cruz (R-TX) slammed Democrat President Joe Biden on Friday over a report from the Associated Press that alleged some Afghan men had forced girls to marry them so they could escape Afghanistan during the Biden administration\u2019s chaotic withdraw from the country.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cU.S. officials at intake centers in the United Arab Emirates and in Wisconsin have identified numerous incidents in which Afghan girls have been presented to authorities as the \u2018wives\u2019 of much older men,\u201d the AP <a href=\"https:\/\/apnews.com\/article\/middle-east-child-trafficking-27d93a340c4834d497eb36e22bb72f42\">reported<\/a>. \u201cOne internal document seen by The Associated Press says the State Department has sought \u2018urgent guidance\u2019 from other agencies after purported child brides were brought to Fort McCoy in Wisconsin. Another document, described to the AP by officials familiar with it, says Afghan girls at a transit site in Abu Dhabi have alleged they have been raped by older men they were forced to marry in order to escape Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Cruz responded to the \u201ccredible and horrifying\u201d report by blasting the Biden administration, saying that they had \u201cno plan for a secure, orderly, and responsible withdrawal from Afghanistan.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cInstead, the President and Biden-Harris officials imposed arbitrary deadlines for political purposes. They rushed the evacuation to expedite moving tens of thousands of Afghans into the United States without thoroughly vetting them for security, health, and humanitarian concerns,\u201d Cruz said in a statement. \u201cI had called for refugees to remain in safe third countries while they were vetted, but instead, President Biden rushed to bring them to the United States. It was already clear his reckless decision threatened the security and health of Americans, from concerns over terrorism to evacuees testing positive for COVID-19. Today we learned that President Biden has also imported an acute human rights crisis into the United States.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere have been multiple cases of child brides and polygamous families from Afghanistan arriving at military bases here in America as part of their botched evacuation,\u201d the statement concluded. \u201cReports even suggest that some of the exploitation was a direct result of the Biden administration\u2019s chaotic evacuation process, a process that has enabled and incentivized coercion and abuse to the point where Biden Administration officials may well be complicit in child trafficking. Every Biden-Harris official linked to this disgrace should and must be held accountable.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The report said that State Department officials have sought \u201curgent guidance\u201d from other federal government agencies about how to handle the situation. The report also said that some of the Afghan men that have been brought to Fort McCoy claim to have more than one wife.<\/p>\n<p><em>This report has been updated to include additional information.&nbsp;<\/em><\/p>\n<p><i><span>The Daily Wire is one of America\u2019s fastest-growing conservative media companies and counter-cultural outlets for news, opinion, and entertainment.
