DHS Reportedly Flagged Thousands Of Afghans For ‘National Security’ Concerns Who Were Brought Into Country By Biden

The Department of Homeland Security flagged more than 5,000 Afghan migrants for national security concerns after they entered the United States through President Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome.

DHS uncovered “potential derogatory information” on 6,868 individuals who arrived following the 2021 military withdrawal, according to the New York Post citing official documents. Of those, 5,005 raised national security red flags, 956 posed public safety concerns and 876 were flagged for fraud.

As of September, 885 individuals with unresolved national security issues remained in the country. (RELATED: Afghan Welcomed By Biden Admin Arrested Over Allegedly Making ‘Terroristic Threat’ With Bomb)

“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,” Republican Iowa Sen. Chuck Grassley told the Post. “Sadly, this past week’s tragedy in Washington only validates my concerns further.”

The disclosure follows the alleged ambush of two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Suspect Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly killed National Guardswoman Sarah Beckstrom, 20, and critically wounded Guardsman Andrew Wolfe, 24.

CIA Director John Ratcliffe revealed Lakanwal had worked alongside the CIA in Afghanistan and “should never have been allowed to come here.”

A Justice Department Inspector General report found 55 individuals on a terror watch list still reached U.S. ports of entry as of May 2023.

President Trump responded by ordering a review of vetting protocols for migrants from 19 “high-risk” countries and all asylum cases approved under the previous administration.
