‘Trump Raised Alarm Over Border Security One Day Before Alleged Afghan Terrorist Entered U.S.’

October 09, 2024

The Daily WireFormer President Donald Trump questioned whether terrorists were using the U.S. southern border to enter the country illegally one day before an alleged Afghan terrorist entered the U.S.

 

Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, 27, has been charged with “providing, attempting to provide, and conspiracy to provide material support and resources to a designated foreign terrorist organization” and “knowingly receiving, conspiring to receive, and attempting to receive firearms and ammunition to be used to commit a felony or Federal crime of terrorism.”

 

Tawhedi allegedly entered the U.S. on September 9, 2021, on a special immigration visa granted by the Biden-Harris administration. The night before, September 8, Trump appeared on Fox News’ “Gutfeld!” where he told host Greg Gutfeld that the U.S. doesn’t know how many terrorists it’s letting into the country.

 

“The country has never been more unsafe,” Trump said during the appearance. “People are pouring in through our southern border, which everyone’s forgetting about right now because of the travesty of Afghanistan. And if you look at the people coming in by the hundreds, by the thousands – and these are not the people necessarily that wanted the protection. These are people – so, are they terrorists? How many terrorists are coming in?”
