Biden Admin Ordered Planes “Filled to Capacity” With Unvetted Afghans, Emails Reveal

Newly surfaced emails obtained by Senator Josh Hawley are shining a harsh, unflattering light on the Biden administration’s chaotic and dangerous Afghanistan withdrawal, revealing that Biden officials ordered military personnel to “fill up the planes” with Afghan evacuees regardless of basic security vetting.

If you’re wondering how we ended up with today’s tragic terror attack, this is your breadcrumb trail.

According to the emails, troops on the ground expressed shock and confusion as senior Biden officials pushed them to load aircraft to maximum capacity, even when evacuees lacked documentation, background checks, or any form of identification. In one exchange, military personnel warned that they had “no ability to verify” who was being placed on U.S.-bound aircraft.

The response from Washington? Pack the planes anyway.

These weren’t minor lapses. They were systemic failures, born out of political panic and an administration desperate for a photo op rather than a competent evacuation.

The revelations exploded across social media. Elon Musk reacted with a simple, pointed: “Wow.”

GOP strategist Steve Guest went further, posting: “Unreal guidance from the Biden administration while they brought in thousands of unvetted Afghans. A terrorist attack like the one we saw today was entirely predictable.”

It’s hard to argue with him. When your policy is “load first, vet never,” predictable doesn’t even begin to cover it.

President Biden’s allies always insisted they executed a “successful” evacuation never mind the 13 service members killed at Abbey Gate, the Americans left behind, or the Taliban taking command of billions in U.S. equipment. Now, thanks to Hawley’s documents, we know senior officials weren’t merely negligent.

They overrode the warnings of the very troops risking their lives on the ground. For Nevadans and Americans nationwide, these emails are a chilling reminder: national security isn’t a political talking point. It’s a responsibility. And at a moment of crisis, Joe Biden treated it like an inconvenience.

The Biden administration gambled with America’s safety. And today, the consequences are impossible to ignore.
