Report: Up to 100 Afghans Seeking Resettlement in U.S. ‘Flagged’ by Terrorism Watch Lists

John Binder 25 Aug 2021

Up to 100 Afghans evacuated from Afghanistan and seeking to resettle in the United States have been “flagged” by Defense Department terrorism watch lists, according to a new report.

As President Joe Biden’s administration looks to fast-track tens of thousands of Afghans into the U.S. interior over the next few weeks, Defense Department officials are reportedly sounding the alarm over the potential for fraud.

An official, involved with the vetting and screening process taking place in third safe countries for Afghans seeking resettlement in the U.S., told Defense One that “up to 100 of the 7,000 Afghans evacuated as prospective recipients” of

Special Immigrant Visas (SIVs have been “flagged” as “potential matches to intelligence agency watch lists.”

Another official said that in “most cases” the Afghans were “cleared by follow-on screening” for resettlement in the U.S.

In most cases, those Afghans — many of whom have already been vetted through the special immigrant visa process — were cleared by follow-on screening.

When were they "vetted" for visas and how? 

If the taliban "surprised" everyone, how did we have time to screen these folks?

Just 7,000? Some numbers aren't flanging up.

True - we've heard much higher numbers. I also can't believe that "only" 100 are potential terrorists.

Just importing terrorists to do the job ordinary conservatives won't--to give them a violent episode so they can declare martial law or some other totalitarian remedy for the slaughter in the streets.

Then it will be time.
