EL CAJON (KUSI) – As hundreds of American remain stuck in Afghanistan, some El Cajon residents are speaking out about their escape from the country.
Meantime, Congressman Issa held a media event with the students and families he and his staff helped escape from Afghanistan after the Taliban took Kabul.
Issa issued a statement before the press conference saying, “This extraordinary gathering is at once a joyous welcome home to members of our community we helped lead to freedom — as well as our commitment of resolve to families and friends that we have yet to bring home. That work continues today and every day.”

The students rescued attend various schools within the Cajon Valley Union School District.
President Biden told the country no American would be left behind, but there are still students with family from the Cajon Valley District that were left stranded in the county.
