From Breitbart: The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) has arrested an Afghan national, brought to the United States by former President Joe Biden’s Operation Allies Welcome, who has since been convicted of indecent exposure to a minor.
On Monday, DHS officials announced the arrest of Basir Ahmad Safi, an Afghan national who was given humanitarian parole in U.S. thanks to Biden’s massive resettlement of Afghans in 2021.
Safi had been arrested in September 2023 by the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office in Florida, facing charges of lewd or lascivious exhibition, soliciting a child via computer, unlawful use of a two-way communications device, and child abuse.
Ultimately, Safi was convicted of indecent exposure to a minor.
In a press release, DHS wrote:
“This unvetted Afghan pedophile was let into our country by the Biden administration. He should NEVER have been allowed into our country or given the opportunity to prey on innocent children. Operation Allies Welcome was a Biden-era parole program that let thousands of unvetted Afghan nationals including terrorists, sexual predators, pedophiles, domestic abusers, and kidnappers into our country,” said Deputy Assistant Secretary Lauren Bis. “Under President Trump’s leadership, DHS has been focused on identifying, arresting, and removing public safety threats like Basir Ahmad Safi from our country.”
Safi was arrested on March 11 as part of a joint Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) Jacksonville and U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) investigation. At the time of his arrest, Safi’s status had been revoked, and he was unlawfully residing in the U.S. He will be held in ICE custody pending removal.
The Biden administration relied on unvetted referrals to admit nearly 190,000 Afghan nationals into the U.S. Understanding this massive threat to American national security, the Trump administration halted Afghan refugee resettlement on January 20. President Trump and DHS suspended entry of Afghan nationals.
