While Biden struggles to decide whether to spend the night in the White House or go hide in Delaware, the situation for Americans stranded in Afghanistan grows worse by the minute.

Ground Report: Kabul Airport Gates Are Closed, Taliban Confiscating U.S. Passports 

The Kabul airport gates are reportedly closed Saturday, as additional details indicate the Taliban is confiscating U.S. passports.

“All of the entrance gates to the airport were closed on Saturday morning because of the dangerous situation,” the [i]New York Times[/i] reported, adding that the U.S. embassy in Kabul is advising evacuees not to travel to the airport in light of “security threats.”

“Because of potential security threats outside the gates at the Kabul airport,” the embassy alerted on its website, “we are advising U.S. citizens to avoid traveling to the airport and to avoid airport gates at this time unless you receive individual instructions from a U.S. government representative to do so.”

The active security threats come as the [i]New York Post[/i] reported the Taliban is “now attempting to take their U.S. passports and identification orders in an attempt to stop them from leaving the country.”
