MODESTO, Calif. (Reuters) - Former U.S. Army interpreter Hamidullah Ehsan saw what was coming.

Two weeks before the Taliban forces marched into Kabul this month, he managed to get his mother and two siblings out of Afghanistan. They are now registered with the United Nations refugee agency in neighboring Tajikistan.
