Noem Says ICE Has Arrested Another Afghan Terrorist In U.S.

Federal immigration officials arrested a man allegedly linked to the terrorist group that killed 13 American soldiers during the U.S. military’s withdrawal from Afghanistan.

Immigration and Customs Enforcement on Wednesday arrested Jaan Shah Safi in Waynesboro, Virginia, located about 100 miles from Washington D.C. Safi is a terrorist linked to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan, known as ISIS-K, according to the Department of Homeland Security.

“The Biden administration brought this terrorist into the U.S. under the disastrous Operation Allies Welcome program. This terrorist was arrested miles from our nation’s capital where our brave National Guard heroes, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, were shot just days ago by another unvetted Afghan terrorist brought into our country,” said Homeland Security Secretary Kristi Noem in a statement.

Noem blamed the Biden administration for creating “one of the worst national security crises in American history” with its botched handling of the Afghanistan withdrawal and the tens of thousands of Afghans that immigrated to the United States as a result.

“Biden let into our country nearly 190,000 unvetted Afghan aliens–only determining who they were and their intentions when they were already on American soil. President Trump has been working every day since January 20 to clean up this unmitigated national security crisis,” said Noem.

In the final week of the Afghanistan withdrawal, a suicide bomber blew up a bomb outside Kabul’s Hamid Karzai International Airport. The airport at the time was serving as the headquarters for U.S. operations extracting service members and others from the country, including thousands of Afghanis.

On August 26, ISIS-K conducted a terror attack in which a bomb was detonated outside the airport’s Abbey Gate, killing 13 U.S. service members along with dozens of Afghans.

Safi is the third Afghan that entered the United States during the Afghanistan withdrawal arrested in the past week. On November 26, law enforcement arrested Rahmanullah Lakanwal after officers said he shot two National Guardsmen in Washington, D.C. One of the guardsmen, Sarah Beckstrom, died from her injuries while the other, Andrew Wolfe, is still fighting for his life.

A day prior to the attack, law enforcement in Texas arrested Mohammad Dawood Alokozay on charges of making terroristic threats after he allegedly posted a video to social media threatening to carry out a suicide bombing attack against Americans.

‘Trying To Cover Her *ss’: Democrat Gov Rips Kamala Harris For ‘Blatant Lies’

Democrat Gov. Josh Shapiro (PA) went scorched earth on failed presidential candidate Kamala Harris this week, when he heard — seemingly for the first time — what she wrote about Shapiro in her then-unpublished memoir.

Shapiro, who was once considered to be Harris’ running mate, bluntly stated that the former VP told “blatant lies” about him and said she was trying to “cover her *ss” and “sell books.”

Harris claims in “107 Days” that Shapiro was overbearing and suggests he wanted to be a co-president if they won the election.

Shapiro had “mused that he would want to be in the room for every decision,” Harris also says, adding that this made her tell Shapiro that “a vice president is not a co-president.”

Harris also wrote that she questioned if Shapiro “would be unable to settle for a role as number two and that it would wear on our partnership.”

During an interview with The Atlantic, Shapiro was told about these comments, which were apparently unbeknownst to him at the time. “I did ask a bunch of questions,” he reacted. “Wouldn’t you ask questions if someone was talking to you about forming a partnership and working together?”

Shapiro was also told that Harris wrote that the governor asked her residence manager how many bedrooms were in the vice-presidential residence and was curious if the Smithsonian might work with him to loan Pennsylvania art for the house.

Those comments, according to The Atlantic, set off Shapiro.

“That’s complete and utter bullsh*t,” Shapiro said. “I can tell you that her accounts are just blatant lies.”

Asked if he felt betrayed by Harris, Shapiro continued to go off: “I mean, she’s trying to sell books and cover her *ss,” he said. “I shouldn’t say ‘cover her *ss.’ I think that’s not appropriate … She’s trying to sell books. Period.”

Harris performed incredibly poorly in her 2024 run for the White House against President Donald Trump. She decided against Shapiro as her VP pick, and instead chose Minnesota Gov. Tim Walz (D), who tanked a debate against Vice President JD Vance. Walz was also plagued by past scandals during the campaign.

Some speculated at the time that Harris opted for Walz over Shapiro since the latter is Jewish, which wouldn’t sit well with far-Left Democrats who are anti-Israel or even antisemitic.
