US EditionTrump Admin Claims 18,000 Suspected Afghan Terrorists Entered US Under Biden
The Trump administration alleges 18,000 suspected terrorists entered the U.S. via Operation Allies Welcome, claiming inadequate vetting under Biden led to multiple arrests and attacks.
- The Trump administration says 18,000 known or suspected terrorists entered the U.S. among resettled Afghan nationals, blaming inadequate vetting under the Biden administration.
- As part of the resettlement effort, Operation Allies Welcome admitted 88,000 Afghan nationals who worked with U.S. forces, with Kent linking some suspects to that group.
- In recent incidents, authorities say Rahmanullah Lakanwal allegedly carried out the Washington, D.C. pre-Thanksgiving shooting, with suspects charged in plots and at least three related arrests in the past year.
- Rep. Bennie Thompson, D-Mississippi, said he doubted former President Joe Biden bore sole blame as the suspect's asylum claim was approved this year by the Trump administration, sparking conservative backlash after his exchange with Department of Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem.
- Assessments from Kent's office indicate about 2,000 of the suspected individuals are Afghan nationals within the group admitted under Operation Allies Welcome, Kent said during the Thursday hearing.
