Rep. Cory Mills, (R-FL), helped rescue a group of Americans from Haiti working at an orphanage in the Haitian capital Port-au-Prince.
Mills rescue is the third of U.S. citizens during a foreign crisis under the Biden administration.
“I am proud to report that my team and I were successful in evacuating [and] rescuing a trapped and at-risk group of Americans from Have Faith Orphanage in Haiti last night,” Mills said.
“This mission reiterates a disturbing reality under President Biden’s leadership: American lives are continually jeopardized,” Mills said. “I have led missions to rescue Americans multiple times when Joe Biden has deserted them.”
“There’s a clear pattern of abandonment,” Mills continued. “Yet again, this group was left behind by Biden and his State Department after requesting their help in-country.”
The U.S. military sent forces to Haiti over the weekend and airlifted non-essential personnel who had remained after an order for such individuals to evacuate last summer.
“We have no higher priority than the safety and security of U.S. citizens overseas,” a U.S. State Department spokesperson said. “The U.S. Embassy remains open with limited staffing and will continue to provide assistance to U.S. citizens as necessary.”
