PATEL BLASTS BIDEN’S ‘EMBLEMATIC FAILURE’ AFTER AFGHAN NATIONAL CHARGED IN GUARD SHOOTING “Under Secretary [Kristi] Noem, DHS has been going full throttle on identifying and arresting known or suspected terrorists and criminal illegal aliens that came in through Biden’s fraudulent parole programs,” DHS Assistant Secretary Tricia McLaughlin wrote in a statement. “When Joe Biden let 190,000 Afghan nationals in, they didn’t do criminal background checks or vet social media. Someone just vouched for them, and they took the words as truth,” she continued. “We have been saying we are getting the worst of the worst out, and we are. We are working around the clock to get these public safety threats out of our country.” According to DHS, some of the Afghan nationals arrested by ICE include: On Aug. 29, ICE arrested Qesmat Din Zafran, a criminal illegal immigrant who entered the U.S. under Operation Allies Refuge in September 2021.
