another day I lumbus alleged an oboe and
ba ba-da-da Kerala
knocking alehiwassallaam an item another
ality and a screener Humphrey wait FEMA
can I mean yesterday only I should be
hired Liberia at a banana Schmid’s
object II hired an email most akarma
that a sucker for head be a man
we don’t hope we do have an octal
mishegoss module for a plea and a human
figure happen and add vitamin darling
hyah – hyah thoughtfully
I’m very scared it was my son lose my
daughter lose my wife does all my life
an elaborate rejection happy but at
patina teeb the soldiers like the
captain for the ones that kept us alive
my name is chase Millsaps I’m a veteran
of the Iraq war I did three tours in
Iraq as a infantry marine from 2006 to
2009 been that experience I got an
opportunity to work with the captain and
help rebuild a country that was in
complete chaos
truly forged our bond when we were at
the checkpoint together the Sun was
going down it was a another day in Iraq
and we were shot at by a sniper he
pushed me down and he ran towards the
sniper directly at him risking his own
life to protect mine he saved my life
that day we became more than friends we
became brothers
maintained our relationship every now
and again we speak on the phone we write
an email how are you doing how’s your
family how are things how’s the war but
it was in 2009 that the emails and the
phone calls stopped completely I later
found out at the captain
I’ve been significantly injured an IE D
attack it’s severe brain damage nerve
damage
he lost all the movement in his right
arm and his right leg I have a great
respect for this man because when he had
every opportunity to leave he stayed and
he continued to fight finally his Isis
continued to get stronger and stronger
and push into Iraq this is the front
line dividing the provinces of Karbala
and unborn is militants have come within
5 miles of here and he then told me
about his family the fact that they were
being hunted by Isis he could no longer
stay in fight he had to go he had to
flee he did it so that he can protect
his family and his children currently
the captain lives in southern Turkey
with his family his wife his two
children his sister and his sister’s
children we sent him to Turkey with the
idea that he would be able to become a
refugee and we could have start the
process immediately to get him to the
United States we found out pretty fast
that that was not the case
when he first arrived in Turkey receive
a UN refugee status appointment date for
2022 that since been bumped up to 2016
but that’s just the start of the process
because he doesn’t have refugee status
he’s unable to apply for asylum in the
United States special immigrant visas
and the resettlement visas don’t apply
to him because he never actually worked
for the US government he was an Iraqi
soldier he was paid by the Iraqi
government and worked with the American
marines that technicality is what
prevents him from even remotely trying
to get to the United States at this
point it just doesn’t meet the criteria
and what I can understand the refugee
system is broken you know the US wants
to help refugees but also does not want
too many of them to come here and I
think every country is the same and
having that ambivalence I think that
that our system addresses the needs of
people who have successfully escaped as
in they have things they can apply for
but it doesn’t do a good job of rescuing
people refugee resettlement
although UNHCR might be in your country
or in the country who fled to that’s not
gonna be imminent and it could be years
out there can be all these different
programs and just someone can still fall
through the cracks because it’s just not
a comprehensive solution there was
nothing we could do without him getting
refugee status so he was stuck in limbo
we had to find a way to keep him and his
family alive while he waits I couldn’t
do that from 10,000 miles away the only
way we could figure out a long-term plan
as if we went there so we did you never
put yourself unnecessarily at risk you
always have a back-up plan and I knew
that we needed to have a plan for we
went down there just in case something
went wrong yeah um so you guys knew the
general plan I mean since you’re gonna
be on the ground tomorrow through the
21st those are the main places that if
anything happened that’s where they
would take us okay if I don’t respond
within a three hour period that me and
the process starts south odd um Gazza
tub is like really bad
I didn’t entirely know what we were
walking into I trust my friend I don’t
trust the scenario that he’s in we got
between a three to five day window
before they can potentially get us into
Syria and then it’s a lost cause of
everyone so it’s about moving fast
appreciate a minute Ziya this is gonna
be a quick trip dirty fast running gun
in and out we had to make it happen in a
very short period of time let’s do this
I’m so fired
smart man even better so
the plan was for the captain and meet us
at the airport I’m gonna call my name
come huh
flown four hours we landed in very
little sleep and as we got out of the
plane and walked into the airport there
was my friend
I’d seen him in almost seven years
good
how are your kids is good that’s good
I felt incredible joy because I was
getting to see my friend and I felt just
sadness for what he’d been through
and it was as if we picked up from the
day I left Iraq the joke started oh hey
hey what are you doing like I’m eating
hay hungry miss poor don’t remember life
at all times cigarettes came out and it
was us on a mission again
what year was this one that the you’d
get when you hit your head yeah
what when shortened and 2009 my
seven-day for we say because I have very
very bad injuries it can’t work I can’t
get it after G status I can’t go back to
Iraq to see the doctor
what am I supposed to do
there’s another way inta vista esta Tia
para hablar management visible in the
mr. Shue okay first way refugee a
special immigrant look that’s what we
got to figure out first is do we need
refugee status from the UN can we speed
up your process take time take time
that’s how they do see to this we’re
going to the UN see if we can get some
answers make friends you know the idea
is to go in and see if we can’t talk to
somebody in you know as we learned last
night
Morse got some serious medical issues
that left untreated can seriously impact
the stability of himself his families
it’s worth a shot right
what are they gonna say go away we were
immediately approached by the security
we asked to see someone within the
embassy or someone within the compound
works on refugee issues we were told
that this was not the location to do
that and then we had to leave other
places we were also weren’t allowed to
film the story they were turned away
debrief lessons-learned guys shut down
pretty fast as soon as you saw the
camera so this next one let’s try to see
if we can’t have a conversation and get
you in front of somebody to talk about
your issue and then we’ll see if we can
get more from there we just went to the
emic office
UNHCR office is pretty big line up there
the once again didn’t want us taking
pictures or doing video or anything he
had all of his medical records
he had everything laid out explaining
what his head injuries were what his
body injuries were all of it he gave
that to the UN and they told him that he
wasn’t able to do anything with it
because it wasn’t in Turkish fucked up
she wouldn’t take any of your English
documents no don’t take any other work
that was just locked up and cook fish
and language Turkish I walked away
thinking there’s got to be another way
to get him into our system without the
UN I guess you came when did you come to
certain I’m coming before nine months –
you’ve been playing the game for nine
months yes
the second part of the plans we had to
figure out where he was living
we had to show what the conditions were
in we had to identify what what he was
actually gonna need to survive should we
leave tonight or she leave in the
morning what oh yeah good morning
I wanted to see it for myself not only
to see his children and meet his family
for the first time but also to get a
better idea of what he needed plan was
for us to drive the idea was to get us
down there before all the activity of
the day get us in get us inside the
house make sure that we were settled
before night fell
I knew that we would be exposed I knew
that people would see us but I also knew
that I was going to see my friend

hamdulillah
it was amazing being able to spend time
with his family played with his kids had
an opportunity to eat dinner with his
family just wasn’t the same soldier that
I internet so many years before this was
my brother in an entirely different
light
as the day started to wind down I knew
it was time to get down to business so
we sort of did a refugee financial
planning hold the computer out we sat
down with his finances we kind of made a
budget figured out how much it was it
gonna cost for winter coats boom we have
this much money is it enough i lo
somewhere between old feel it out as we
go longer right Midna how much was gonna
cost if one of the kids got sick you
know the little details matter when
you’re when every dollar counts and
you’re living day to day as much as I
wanted to stay with my friend I knew it
was time to leave every minute that we
were there was another minute that
somebody would see us that somebody
would see us with him and that is to be
possibly putting him at RIT I need to
know every day get up and keep fighting
so it was a constant balance between
wanting to stay with our friend and also
to be able to leave for his safety and
for ours
point
I left that night thinking that I wasn’t
going to see my friend again thinking
that the trip was over that we’d failed
and that we weren’t able to figure out a
long-term plan near the part of me is
like do I take the risk and stay here
for six more hours instead of to wait
for the Sun to come up is something
gonna happen maybe maybe not but is it
worth taking that risk
just
we made our way back to ankara we only
had a few days left so we knew he had to
get him back and start finalizing some
of the details about how to get him help
so he came down the corral he took the
bus and he met us at the hotel and we
came up with a plan of a task we were
gonna go to as many banks as we could to
find out how to open a bank account
where we could send resources from the
States to him this was an extremely
difficult task
we’d be ignoring us pushing us the next
person won’t even
acknowledged English using the
translator
between his broken Turkish my translator
on my phone we were at least able to get
a photocopy first we went on a scavenger
hunt which we didn’t know the language
didn’t even know where we were going we
really didn’t know how to follow the
clues finally he found the last building
right before it closed that was able to
help us they were able to get him a tax
ID and from there we could run to the
nearest bank because he wasn’t a refugee
he didn’t have a long-term visa to be in
Turkey because of all the technicalities
we weren’t even able to get him a bank
account both of us walked out of the
bank broken even after everyone telling
us no all week and all the walls that we
had to climb over we still came up with
a plan when he left I would come back to
the States
trying to find a way trying to look for
any way to start the refugee process for
him to bring him home here with us in
the United States and his family
and a cartel may alcott in America and I
also added Murad V and Mark mihalko

and I wish

is that I wish that
you took care of me when I really needed
you and that’s my job this job but it
was you that did it
yes you might have another thank you
Thank You Bella for everything
bring us together
I hope so Dixon files have
for the captain this story was much
bigger than just him it was about
helping others who had helped us
I think when we walked away he’s able to
sleep at night knowing that there’s
somebody else that can help him if this
isn’t just his problem that this is our
problem going into it I thought that we
would go and we would get all these
things done and the problem would be
solved that wasn’t true we’re really
only starting at this point the system
is so complex I understand that the
process is gonna take a long time
could it be modified in some way to make
the system better what if we were to
permit people to openly travel here with
the intention of seeking asylum they
didn’t have to get false papers they
didn’t have to be smuggle didn’t have to
lie it’s not currently being done there
has to be a really strong political will
behind something like this
we’ve got to find the best way for him
to come to the United States and if that
path doesn’t exist we either need to
change the law or we need to create one
it’s my turn to push him down and help
just like he did for me

the system better what if we were to
permit people to openly travel here with
the intention of seeking asylum they
didn’t have to get false papers they
didn’t have to be smuggle didn’t have to
lie it’s not currently being done there
has to be a really strong political will
behind something like this
we’ve got to find the best way for him
to come to the United States and if that
path doesn’t exist we either need to
change the law or we need to create one
it’s my turn to push him down and help
just like he did for me
