The FBI and its joint terrorism task forces are "actively" investigating individuals deemed national security threats and suspected terrorists who entered the U.S. after being evacuated from Afghanistan last year, FBI Director Christopher Wray said Thursday, while admitting the bureau does not know where "all" are located at any given time.
A Department of Defense whistleblower reported to Sens. Josh Hawley, R-Mo., and Ron Johnson, R-Wis., that 324 of the individuals the Biden administration evacuated from Afghanistan and welcomed into the U.S. have appeared on the Pentagon’s watch list, including known, suspected terrorists.
Fox News reported in February that at least 50 Afghan evacuees were brought to the U.S. in the wake of the U.S. withdrawal from Afghanistan whose information indicated "potentially serious security concerns." The information came in a Pentagon inspector general report, which revealed that U.S. government officials were unable to locate dozens of those individuals who had "derogatory information" that would make them ineligible for parole.
A footnote in that inspector general report stated that the "significant security concerns include individuals whose latent fingerprints have been found on improvised explosive devices and known or suspected terrorists" and for which officials would send that derogatory information to appropriate Pentagon personnel.
