Afghan evacuees meet with Marquette University law students to fill out the paperwork needed to change their immigration status at the Task Force McCoy Legal Clinic at Fort McCoy, Wisconsin, Dec. 15, 2021, as part of Operation Allies Welcome. Afghan evacuees can attend classes about the legal rights, responsibilities of U.S. citizens, and how to apply for asylum or a special immigration visa. As well as receiving one on one guidance from licensed attorneys, Marquette University law students and legal volunteers informed individuals about the immigration pathways they qualify for. The Department of Defense, through U.S. Northern Command, and in support of the Department of Homeland Security, is providing transportation, temporary housing, medical screening, and general support for at least 50,000 Afghan evacuees at suitable facilities, in permanent or temporary structures, as quickly as possible. This initiative provides Afghan evacuees essential support at secure locations outside Afghanistan. (U.S. Army photo by Spc. Caitlin Wilkins, 50th Public Affairs Detachment)
