Afghan Refugee Allegedly Committed ‘Unlawful Act With A Child’ While At U.S. Marine Base While Awaiting Resettlement

An Afghan refugee at Marine Corps Base Quantico committed an “unlawful act with a child,” according to an Inspector General (IG) report.

“Quantico had one major criminal security incident and it involved an Afghan evacuee committing what appeared to be an unlawful act with a child,” the IG report stated, according to Military.com. The outlet added that “Security personnel quickly decided the incident violated U.S. law and turned the refugee over to the FBI.”

The Daily Caller added that the incident occurred at base in Virginia last year following President Joe Biden’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan that left 13 U.S. troops dead and hundreds behind in the nation, which was quickly taken over by the Taliban. Thousands of Afghan refugees were housed at Quantico awaiting resettlement when the incident occurred.

The IG report also found that 3,755 refugees were briefly housed at Quantico before the last were resettled ahead of Christmas, racking up a $188 million bill for the Marine Corps and Pentagon. – READ MORE
