DHS Arrests Afghan National Admitted Under Operation Allies Welcome Following Child Sex Offense Conviction
The Department of Homeland Security arrested Basir Ahmad Safi, an Afghan national who entered the United States in 2021 through Operation Allies Welcome. Safi was taken into custody after being convicted of indecent exposure to a minor and child abuse. Officials stated that Safi should not have been allowed entry. They are working to remove public safety threats who may have bypassed initial vetting. U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services and Immigration and Customs Enforcement worked together on the investigation. Some lawmakers used the arrest to criticize the vetting procedures used during the 2021 withdrawal from Afghanistan. DHS says it will continue to find and remove individuals who pose a danger to the public.
