BillsFanNC Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Quote Twenty-seven-year-old Tawhedi traveled to the U.S. on a special immigrant visa in 2021, the criminal complaint says. I wonder what all the terrorists who simply walked across the southern border might have planned? 1
B-Man Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Another Media ‘Fact-Check’ on Trump (This Time From CNN) Has Aged Like Milk in the Summer Sun. These are the ones who are getting caught, so we can’t help but wonder how many more are in the country still under the radar: Tawhedi, who arrived in the U.S. in September 2021, had taken steps in recent weeks to advance his attack plans, including by ordering AK-47 rifles, liquidating his family’s assets and buying one-way tickets for his wife and child to travel home to Afghanistan, officials said. The arrest comes as the FBI confronts heightened concerns over the possibility of extremist violence on U.S. soil, with Director Christopher Wray telling The Associated Press in August that he was “hard pressed to think of a time in my career where so many different kinds of threats are all elevated at once.” The Biden-Harris years have been just great, haven’t they? As usual, we’re seeing a media “fact-check” about Trump and other Republicans that’s instantly aged badly: https://twitchy.com/dougp/2024/10/09/another-media-fact-check-this-time-from-cnn-has-aged-like-milk-in-the-summer-sun-n2401944 1

Roundybout Posted October 9 Posted October 9 Just now, AlBUNDY4TDS said: Cause he's a terrorist? How wouldn't his nationality matter? You can just say terrorist and leave it at that. Otherwise it sounds like inflammatory rhetoric to get racists riled up. You’d NEVER do something like that, right? 1

I was thinking the only thing that would make this story any more riveting is if he was a illegal immigrant . But you have a huge point they in no way know how many come here un noticed until it is to late . Thank god for the FBI taking this scum bag out before he could go through with his plan I just hope they get the rest of them involved in it ... 2

BillsFanNC Posted October 9 Posted October 9 I mean Roundy has a point, if you dont mention the nationality others might correctly assume that this particular islamic terrorist came from South Korea or maybe Finland like so many have before. 3 1
BillsFanNC Posted October 16 Posted October 16 Oh. NEWS: The Biden-Harris administration now admits that an Afghan national accused of plotting an election day terror attack did not undergo certain vetting they previously claimed he passed. Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was never vetted or approved by the State Department for special immigrant (SIV) status, despite officials from other agencies claiming that he cleared that stringent process. Additionally, sources familiar with the investigation tell FOX that Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi was not well known to the US government when the administration facilitated his departure to the U.S., despite his security role with the CIA in Afghanistan. FOX has learned Tawhedi was employed as a local guard outside the base perimeter and he would not have been among the most thoroughly vetted U.S. partners. The news upends claims officials made last week that Tawhedi was vetted three times: 1) to work for the CIA in Afghanistan 2) to come to the U.S. on DHS humanitarian parole during the withdrawal, and 3) when he was approved for special immigrant (SIV) status after arriving in the U.S. Officials now acknowledge Tawhedi was never vetted or approved for special immigrant (SIV) status, a thorough State Department process which can take years to complete. The State Department has maintained all along it had no role in Tawhedi’s refugee status, despite what a DHS case agent told investigators -- leading to its inaccurate mention in the DOJ criminal complaint. Last week Biden administration officials defended the error, explaining that Tawhedi first entered the country on DHS humanitarian parole – which had its own vetting process – but later applied for SIV status, subjecting him to another round of vetting which he also cleared. Those same officials now admit that claim was wrong, and Tawhedi was never vetted or approved for SIV. However, officials now say Tawhedi was subjected to ‘recurrent’ vetting as part of his DHS humanitarian parole under Operation Allies Welcome – but this raises new questions. DHS has repeatedly stated that no red flags were identified at any point in Tawhedi’s vetting, but three sources forcefully disputed DHS’ characterization of the vetting process as “thorough”. According to a 2022 DHS Inspector General Report, DHS did not provide data or evidence to support its claim that “recurrent vetting processes were established for all paroled Afghan evacuees for the duration of their parole period”. The report also stated that DHS admitted or paroled evacuees who were not fully vetted into the United States, in many cases because information used to vet evacuees through U.S. Government databases, such as name, date of birth, identification number, and travel document data, was inaccurate, incomplete, or missing. The 2022 DHS OIG audit revealed 417 records with a first name unknown, 242 records with a last name unknown, and 11,110 records with a birth date recorded as “January 1.” Additionally, 36,400 travel records listed “facilitation document” as the document type, and 7,800 records had invalid or missing document numbers. CBP did not maintain a list of individuals paroled or admitted into the country without proper identification. Recurrent vetting was initiated by CBP for Operation Allies Welcome parolees prior to their arrival in the United States. CBP shared biographical information collected during the initial screening and vetting process with the National Vetting Center (NVC) and designated Vetting Support Agencies (VSAs) -- external to DHS -- for recurrent vetting against classified information in NVC and VSA data holdings. DHS stated in the 2024 final report that “the National Vetting Center recurrent vetting is ongoing and active for all OAW parolees”, but the agency has also tells FOX, “Vetting is a point-in-time check that evaluates information available to the U.S. Government at that time.” DHS says “If individuals who have entered the country are later found to be associated with information indicating a potential national security or public safety concern, DHS and our federal partners investigate and take appropriate action in keeping with the mission of protecting the homeland.” Investigators are still working to determine whether Tawhedi was radicalized before or after coming to the U.S. 1
