Former 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?”
Tawhedi and a juvenile co-conspirator from Afghanistan referred to in court documents as “CC 1” attempted to raise funds to carry out a terrorist attack on Election Day and to repatriate their family members to Afghanistan a couple of weeks before the attack. They intended to raise these funds by selling their home and personal property.
Tawhedi was able to enter the U.S. under the Biden-Harris administration’s special immigrant visa program following the administration’s bungled withdrawal from Afghanistan in 2021. The withdrawal left behind nearly $1 billion worth of U.S. military aircraft, more than 40,000 military vehicles, and more than 300,000 weapons, along with tens of millions of dollars worth of ammunition, which are now all in the hands of Taliban terrorists.
During the chaotic withdrawal, 13 U.S. service members were killed in a terrorist attack at the airport.
Tawhedi and CC 1, his brother-in-law who entered the U.S. in 2018, were found to have an extensive amount of ISIS propaganda encouraging terrorist attacks in the U.S. Tawhedi is also accused of donating money to a “charity” that acts as a front group for ISIS.
The FBI first started monitoring Tawhedi after this donation and was able to find his social media accounts connecting him to an Islamic extremist who was recruiting people for ISIS.
Investigators claim Tawhedi admitted to a planned terrorist attack on Election Day in communications with an FBI Confidential Human Source (CHS) and again admitted to the attack after he was arrested.
