For the Left, there are never enough Americans being killed.
It’s clear now: not quite every Afghan refugee whom the Biden regime brought into the United States in the wake of its utterly avoidable debacle in Kabul in 2021 is a Boy Scout. After the Biden regime’s catastrophically botched withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021, regime wonks flooded the U.S. with thousands of Afghan refugees, without paying any particular attention to whether or not they were Islamic jihadis. Now those particular chickens have begun to come home to roost.
First there was Rahmanullah Lakanwal, who shot two National Guard members in Washington on Wednesday. Then there Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, who was just arrested for plotting a jihad massacre in Fort Worth, Texas. Now, Department of Homeland Security has revealed that there are literally thousands of Afghan “refugees” who have been flagged as national security risks. And where are they? Why, they could truly be anywhere.
The New York Post reported Saturday that “more than 5,000 Afghans brought to the US after American forces withdrew from the country got flagged for ‘national security’ issues.” And wait, it gets worse: “In all, the feds uncovered ‘potential derogatory information’ on a total of 6,868 people who came from Afghanistan as part of President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome in 2021. Of that number, 5,005 came up with a national security concern, while 956 people had ‘public safety’ concerns and 876 were flagged for fraud, according to the data.”
Not to worry, however: American officials have supposedly resolved most of these (how?), although “as of September there were still 885 people with potentially negative national security information – posing a possible threat.” And “the Justice Department’s IG [Inspector General], meanwhile, reported in June that 55 individuals who were on a terror watch list but still made it to a US port as of May 2023. Some of them had been added to the list while the evacuation was taking place.”
The Inspector General explained that “according to the FBI, the need to immediately evacuate Afghans overtook the normal processes required to determine whether individuals attempting to enter the United States pose a threat to national security, which increased the risk that bad actors could try to exploit the expedited evacuation.”
Everyone should have seen this coming. As far back as Sept. 2021, Biden regime Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas admitted that most of the Afghans who had been brought over here were not actually holders of Special Immigrant Visas (SIV), which had been issued to people who helped the U.S. in Afghanistan. “Of the over 60,000 individuals who have been brought into the United States” at that time, Mayorkas said, “and I will give you approximate figures and I will verify them, approximately 7 percent have been United States citizens. Approximately 6 percent have been lawful permanent residents. Approximately 3 percent have been individuals who are in receipt of the Special Immigrant Visas.” Yes, just three percent. --->READ MORE HERE
More than 5,000 Afghans brought to the US after American forces withdrew from the country got flagged for “national security” issues, Department of Homeland Security data obtained by The Post reveals.
In all, the feds uncovered “potential derogatory information” on a total of 6,868 people who came from Afghanistan as part of President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome in 2021.
Of that number, 5,005 came up with a national security concern, while 956 people had “public safety” concerns and 876 were flagged for fraud, according to the data.
DHS provided the information to Sen. Chuck Grassley (R-Iowa), chair of the Senate Judiciary Committee, after he posed a series of questions to the Homeland Security Department in May 2024.
While various US agencies were able to resolve many of the red flags, as of September there were still 885 people with potentially negative national security information – posing a possible threat.
Following Wednesday’s shocking ambush of two National Guards members in Washington DC, President Trump ordered a review of security and vetting protocols for migrants from 19 “high-risk” countries, along with all asylum cases approved by the prior administration.
The startling data comes to light just days after suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly killed National Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and left Guardsman Andrew Wolfe, 24, hospitalized in critical condition.
For years, Grassley has been pressing the FBI and DHS about “glaring red flags” in the program that brought more than 70,000 Afghans to the US following the botched 2021 troop withdrawal.
Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem provided the information in a Sept. 9 letter to the lawmaker, three days after the agency’s Inspector General reported it found DHS “encountered obstacles to screen, vet and inspect all evacuees.”
“I spent years calling attention to the weak vetting standards in Operation Allies Welcome, despite considerable pushback from the Biden administration and many of my colleagues in Congress,” Grassley told The Post.
“Sadly, this past week’s tragedy in Washington only validates my concerns further. I appreciate the Trump administration’s efforts to respond to my oversight and restore order in the wake of the Biden administration’s disastrous withdrawal from Afghanistan and the chaos that followed,” he said.
Another Department of Homeland Security IG report found the agency had a “fragmented process” for dealing with potential security risks in the program. --->READ MORE HERE
