A soldier reported that she was assaulted by a small group of Afghan refugees at a shelter complex set up for the refugees in New Mexico, Fort Bliss officials said.
A Fort Bliss statement said the assault happened Sept. 19 at the Fort Bliss Doña Ana County Range Complex about 40 miles (65 kilometers) north of El Paso, Texas.
“We take the allegation seriously and appropriately referred the matter to the Federal Bureau of Investigation,” said a Fort Bliss statement.
The soldier was reporting for her shift around midnight when three to four men attacked her, according to a U.S. Defense Department official. She had minor physical injuries and was able to get away. She was not sexually assaulted, said the official, who spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss an ongoing investigation.
The official said that soldiers on duty operate with a buddy system, but the female soldier was just arriving and had not yet linked up with her buddy for the shift.
The official said that no one had yet been charged and that the FBI was investigating. It was unclear if law enforcement had identified the attackers.
The Fort Bliss statement said the woman was immediately provided “appropriate care, counseling and support” and that security measures at the complex were being strengthened.
U.S. Rep. Yvette Herrell, the New Mexico Republican representing the district where the complex is situated, said her staff was also investigating.
The U.S. government erected the complex in late August and early September to house thousands of Afghan refugees from the Taliban.
According to the Fort Bliss statement, all Afghan nationals are subjected to “a multi-layer screening and vetting process” before being admitted to the United States.
The process “involves biometric and biographic screenings conducted by intelligence, law enforcement, and counterterrorism professionals” from the Department of Homeland Security, FBI, the National Counterterrorism Center and other intelligence community resources.

This is just the beginning of the Muslim violence we can expect to experience in the coming years because the clueless Biden-Harris Administration has allowed tens of thousands of unvetted or poorly vetted fundamentalist Muslim refugees from Afghanistan, many of whom are single male adults, to immigrate to America from that nation’s backward, intolerant and misogynistic Islamic society. Of course, we can expect the left’s propaganda puppets in the mainstream and social media outlets to fall all over themselves to hide the ideological motivation for this violence and continue to perpetuate the Big Lie that Islam is the religion of peace.
Just like we’ve seen in the UK< germany and many other nations, EXPECT RAPE gangs, to grow all over, THAN KS To the influx of these RAPEFUGEES…
AND those who DARE speak out against it, will be the ones the authorities, PUNISH.. not the savage rapists..
they are saying that they have been vetted and the Gov. has no idea who they are. More Blinken lies.
What’s the betting, even if they DO FIND the perps, NOT A GOD DAMN THING will happen to them.
I remember back in the 80’s the democrats’ desperate goal to infect the military they loathed with women and later homosexuals. Everything the critics of this attack on the military predicted has happened in spades.
