How many Afghans were paroled into the US under Operation Allies Welcome between July 2021 and March 2022?

Question

Accepted Answer

Between July 2021 and March 2022, over 73,000 Afghans were paroled into the United States as part of Operation Allies Welcome. This number represents the people who actually resettled in the US during this period, which is distinct from the larger 123,000+ who were evacuated from Kabul. Not everyone evacuated came to the United States. Some were resettled in other countries, some remained at overseas processing centers, and some eventually returned to Afghanistan. The 73,000 figure reflects the scale of the domestic resettlement effort that DHS coordinated. These individuals were processed through the eight military bases, underwent security screening, received medical care and vaccinations, and were then connected with resettlement organizations that helped them find housing and employment in communities across America. Many settled in areas with existing Afghan communities, including northern Virginia, Northern California, and Texas.
