Two National Guardsmen were shot and critically injured in Washington, D.C., when a suspect, identified as an Afghan national let in through a Biden-era program allegedly ambushed them Wednesday.
Fox News’ Bill Melugin reported the suspect in custody “is an Afghan national who entered the U.S. on 9/8/2021 as part of the Biden admin’s Operation Allies Welcome in the aftermath of the US withdrawal from Afghanistan.”
Melugin reported that the suspect’s “permission to be in the U.S. expired in September of this year, and he is now in the country illegally.”
The Department of Homeland Security inspector general released a report in 2022 finding the agency did not properly “screen, vet, and inspect all Afghan evacuees arriving as part of Operation Allies Refuge (OAR)/Operation Allies Welcome (OAW).”
After the disastrous and deadly Afghanistan withdrawal, the Biden administration decided to import thousands of incompatible foreigners into the country. As The Federalist CEO and co-founder Sean Davis wrote for The American Mind, “The solution for failing to export American democracy to Afghanistan, you see, is to import Afghanistan into America.”
Davis pointed out the “moral blackmail” taking place at the time: “Are you concerned that people posing as refugees might be terrorists intent on killing Americans on U.S. soil? You’re a racist. Are you worried that the same government and immigration system that allowed the 19 9/11 hijackers entry to the U.S. might not be competent to judge who is and who is not a security threat? You’re a xenophobe.”
And Davis’ concerns were later proved valid, as the DHS inspector general report found that “U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) did not always have critical data to properly screen, vet, or inspect the evacuees.”
“We determined some 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. We also determined CBP admitted or paroled evacuees who were not fully vetted into the United States.”
The report concedes the government may have “paroled individuals into the United States who pose a risk to national security and the safety of local communities.”
