Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, a 27-year-old Afghan national, was arrested for allegedly plotting an ISIS-backed terrorist attack on Election Day after being resettled in the U.S. by the Biden-Harris administration. Initially, the administration claimed he was vetted under the Special Immigrant Visa (SIV) program, but it has now admitted that Tawhedi was never vetted or approved for SIV status. Instead, he entered the U.S. through a more lenient humanitarian parole process, which did not include the rigorous checks associated with SIV. Tawhedi, who previously worked as a local guard for the CIA, reportedly wasn't well-known to U.S. authorities at the time of his resettlement. This revelation has intensified scrutiny of the administration's immigration policies, particularly concerning the vetting of Afghan refugees post-U.S. withdrawal. Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas faced backlash over the incident amid wider concerns about national security related to immigration.
