Washington DC [US], July 30 (ANI): The US Congress has approved emergency funds to boost the Capitol Police and strengthen security after the January 6 riot, and to evacuate Afghans who helped American forces from their country. This USD 2.1 billion dollar package is designed to address the aftermath of the violent insurrection that took place on January 6, heal the remaining scars of the COVID pandemic on the Capitol complex, and provide the resources we need to ensure the safety of our Afghan partners as we conclude our mission in that country, said Senator Patrick Leahy.
