Once evacuees arrive in the United States, “we’re prepared to house them and feed them as long as it takes to get them through the process,” VanHerck told reporters Friday, noting that many of the arriving Afghans “have family already here in the United States, or they’ll be relocated to places with Afghan populations.”
