The Alaska State Legislature has passed a resolution urging the President of the United States to enhance evacuation efforts for individuals with approved Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs) from Afghanistan. This includes the resumption of evacuation flights organized by the Coordinator for Afghan Relocation Efforts and the expedited processing of SIV applications by the United States Citizenship and Immigration Services. The resolution emphasizes the importance of providing legal protections and humanitarian assistance to SIV applicants who remain stranded in third-party countries, as well as ensuring that their families are not indefinitely separated.

Additionally, the resolution calls for a report from the United States Secretary of State to Congress within 60 days, detailing the efforts to reinstate evacuation flights and address logistical challenges. The Alaska Legislature highlights the contributions of Afghan allies who served alongside U.S. military forces and stresses the need for timely processing and resettlement to protect these individuals and their families. Copies of the resolution will be sent to key government officials, including the President, members of Congress, and relevant departments involved in the evacuation and immigration processes.
