Kabul on aircraft yesterday. Thats another single day high. Hundreds of americans were among the evacuees. The administration still wont specify how many americans do remain in country. Kaitlyn collins is live at the White House. Kaitlyn, first of all, this huge decision by the president , what more do we know about it and what do we expect to hear from him on this when he speaks later today . Well, he could very well explain his thinking behind this decision. Because it does not come as a surprise to those in the West Wing who knew that a lot of the president s top advisers were advocating against extending that deadline past August 31st. Aware of the Security Concerns on the ground. That has been something big they have been monitoring on a daily basis.

No one so far has explained how that works. But what you cant argue is that opening the borders was legal or that anyone in this country voted for it. The current Mass Movement of foreign nationals into the united states was never approved by congress. No one passed a law demanding it.
