According to DHS, the Biden-era Operation Allies Welcome relied on “unvetted referrals” to allow nearly 190,000Afghan nationalsinto the country.The agency said those admitted into the U.S.included terrorists, sexual predators, pedophiles, domestic abusers and kidnappers

DHS said that “understanding this massive threat to American national security,” President Donald Trump halted Biden’s Afghan refugee resettlement program almost immediately after returning to the Oval Office.Months later, Trump suspended the entry of all Afghan nationals into the U.S.
