According to the Boston Globe, Governor Charlie Baker on Tuesday denounced what he called the “mismanagement” that led to the chaos in Afghanistan amid the United States’ withdrawal, saying the situation imperils those trying to escape Kabul.

In a tweet, Baker indicated that Massachusetts would accept Afghan refugees saying “Massachusetts is ready to assist Afghan refugees seeking safety and peace in America.” 

Yesterday, Pentagon officials said they are coordinating with the Taliban and bringing in thousands of additional US troops to finish evacuating Americans and Afghan allies from the Kabul international airport within two weeks.
