Son of Michigan congressman shares tale of escape from Israel

WASHINGTON — U.S. Rep. Bill Huizenga said his son was evacuated out of Israel earlier this month as the country waged war against the U.S.-designated terror group Hamas.

He got out with the help of a team affiliated with another congressman, Rep. Cory Mills of Florida, who also helped at least 96 other Americans flee by way of ground evacuation, Mills has said.

"When I told him my son was there, he said, 'Don’t worry. I will get him,'" Huizenga said of Mills. "I told him, 'Well, I’m trying to figure this out for safety levels.' He said, 'Bill, this is going sideways quickly."
