Human First Coalition, an organization founded by humanitarian Safi Rauf that's been celebrated for evacuating refugees from Afghanistan, has been sued for fraud.
. But just days after the letter from the refugees, Human First Coalition gave refugees a seven-day warning that it would shutter the safe house because it "simply [did] not have the funding" to continue operations, according to a copy of the Human First Coalition letter that was provided to ABC News by the refugee.
Rauf also denied that there was a lack of medical care at the Pakistan safe house, and pointed to a receipt and photograph that appeared to show a hospital stay from the time. He claimed everyone who arrived at the safe house received a medical checkup, and that care was provided throughout their stay.
"This guy is famous, he's going on TV, and he's living the life," Moses told ABC News regarding Rauf. "All the while, my friend is in Pakistan with no electricity." Responding to those allegations, Rauf told ABC News that the safe house was shuttered due to security concerns. "[Rauf] offered to return the $600,000 after he failed to transport USIP personnel to the airport or secure their admission to the airport," USIP claims in its filings, noting they had offered to compensate Rauf $30,000 for successfully evacuating members of the USIP-supported Generation Change Fellows Program. "To date, [Rauf] has not returned any of the contract payment."
"Rauf and Human First admit that Rauf has not paid any money to USIP, but explicitly deny any obligation to do so," the filing stated. Former Human First Coalition attorney Jason Hubbard -- who filed the original action asking the judge to determine who the remaining money belongs to -- declined to comment when reached by ABC News.In total, Human First Coalition raised more than $2 million in donations and funding in 2021, according to the group's tax returns that were obtained by ABC News.
Tekse, a retired U.S. Marine, said that while the group initially did "great work" in the beginning and saved lives, issues with financing arose even before Rauf was captured by the Taliban in December, 2021 -- and then, she said, "everything else kind of went south from there."
