Without warning, the Biden administration this month told Loudoun County officials that it plans to roll an influx of 16,000 Afghan refugees through a convention center as part of its settlement program.
Sheriff Michael Chapman said Thursday that officials from the Department of Homeland Security’s Federal Protective Service said that up to 1,000 at a time would be temporarily housed at the National Conference Center in the ritzy Lansdowne area east of Leesburg, Virginia.
In a release, Chapman expressed concern over the administration’s lack of transparency about dumping the refugees, most of whom do not speak English, in a highly populated area that includes two schools. While the public has welcomed former Afghan officials, notably translators, who helped the United States during the War on Terror, locals have raised significant security concerns about language barriers and background checks.For example, he asked about security and background checks. DHS, the sheriff’s department said, responded: “Refugees had been carefully vetted and many served as translators.
DHS also admitted it had told nobody in the community about the plan and had not reached out to any support group, including churches.
