One of the men says his wife is still in Afghanistan, and his brother, who is a target.
They say if @JoeBiden would extend the withdrawal deadline, he would save a lot of lives.
Both men shared documents with ABC15 on how they got to the US with special visas after helping the US Army and the US Embassy.
The first man tells us he is working to get his wife, mother and brother evacuated immediately because of the target that is on them.
The second man has his mother, and brother who he’s trying to evacuate immediately as well.
“They’re still looking to get my brother, to punish him,” he told ABC15.
Both men are in contact with Senator Kyrsten Sinema’s office and Senator Mark Kelly’s office.
Both offices confirmed to ABC15 that they have received information from these individuals, and are working to send information to the Department of State.
