On Monday, Rep. Cory Mills (R-FL) announced that he successfully evacuated another group of Americans stranded in Haiti and denounced the Biden administration for not taking action.
"It's with great pride I announce that our team successfully conducted another rescue of 13 Americans out of PAP Haiti. Our team has now successfully rescued and evacuated more Americans than Biden and his entire administration," Mills, a combat veteran, and House Armed Services & Foreign Affairs Committee member, wrote on X Monday morning.
"Americans deserve support from their government. Not the pattern of abandonment this administration has shown," he continued.
Mills' post included photos of the rescue, including himself with the group of Americans as they traveled by helicopter.
When questioned about the 1,000 Americans who remain stranded in Haiti, National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan said the Biden administration has sent out one evacuation flight and is currently considering more options for further action, Townhall reported.
"If we determine there is a secure way to move American citizens who want to leave Haiti out of the Port-au-Prince airport or out of some other route, we will do so," he said. "There's active planning for that. There's active analysis of the risks of doing so, but we will stay in close touch with every American citizen who wants to be in touch with us in Haiti and continue to look for options to ensure their safe passage out of the country should they choose to leave."
Mills told FOX Business Network's Maria Bartiromo that the State Department has failed the American people.
"In Haiti, Biden and his admin at the State Department have only made it more challenging for Americans to evacuate," he said on X, sharing his interview with Martiromo.
"Time and time again, they have demonstrated a lack of commitment to the safety of American citizens abroad," the congressman continued. "The issue resides in DC as in country, DoS members have attempted to support but were advised by DC not to. This reckless pattern of abandonment that first occurred in Afghanistan, then Israel, and now Haiti is a dereliction of duty, violation of Oath, and failure plain and simple."
