In an investigative report titled "Unwelcome in Niger: An Interim Report by Congressman Matt Gaetz on the American Troop Crisis in Niger," the congressman interviewed multiple service members including one senior enlisted personnel in the U.S., who claimed they had been left "functionally stranded, and without sufficient assistance from the Department of Defense or the Department of State." In April, the service members reached out to Gaetz alleging they had not only been "prohibited from doing their purported mission," but also from allegedly "returning home post-deployment."

"Since the hostility within the government of Niger that took over in mid-2023, the Department of Defense is unable to execute planned troop rotations or deliver mail, medical supplies, equipment, and other materials. The Biden Administration is actively suppressing intelligence reports about the atmospherics of the Nigerien position to avoid embarrassment for investing hundreds of millions of dollars in a nation where U.S. forces are no longer welcome," Gaetz stated in his report.
