A lawsuit filed by a group representing the agency's foreign service members paints harrowing pictures of their chaotic departures from Kinshasa amid violent protests in the capital city.
The State Department ordered non-emergency US government personnel and their family members to leave the Democratic Republic of Congo amid escalating violence in the country and its capital city in late January .
The lawsuit argues that the employees were left to sort their housing, schooling plans for their children and “other support payments that would normally be owed to evacuated families”.
Another foreign service officer, identified in the suit, detailed “the trauma” of exiting Kinshasa in the middle of the night with three young children and having to leave his dog.
“I am experiencing mental and physical anguish and exhaustion,” he wrote in the filing.
Virginia Democratic Rep. Don Beyer criticized Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for the chaos of the foreign service employees' return.
