So they’re doing what any American would do in such a situation … they’re suing!

@BarackObama Mr. President, something must be done to help Yemeni-Americans get home safely. https://t.co/XqNJyUfE0I

And this question to State Department spox Marie Harf would be funnier if the Obama administration actually had an answer. Should Americans “swim” to safety?

Or maybe China will rescue them?
@BuzzFeedNews @RobProvince @marieharf I suppose they''' have to wait for the Chinese to come back & rescue them… A sad day for US gov't.
