In yet another jaw-dropping example of the Biden administration’s national security failures, a new bombshell report from the Department of Justice Office of Inspector General (DOJ OIG) has revealed that 55 Afghan evacuees who were on the terrorist watchlist either made it to the U.S. or were added to the list after arriving — all during Joe Biden’s chaotic and deadly withdrawal from Afghanistan.
The 87-page audit, released in June 2025, provides disturbing confirmation that Biden’s so-called “Operation Allies Welcome” allowed known or suspected terrorists to enter the country through rushed, incomplete vetting processes.
In total, 231 individuals were flagged as matches to the terrorist watchlist, and 55 were already on U.S. soil when the FBI identified them as national security risks.
This is not just bureaucratic failure — it’s a national security time bomb.
One of those evacuees, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, entered the U.S. in September 2021. By 2024, he was actively plotting a terrorist attack on U.S. soil for Election Day in allegiance to ISIS.
Tawhedi allegedly acquired firearms and ammunition, planning to kill Americans in the name of radical Islam.
The Biden administration’s catastrophic withdrawal didn’t just leave billions in U.S. equipment in Taliban hands — it also airlifted potential jihadists right into the heart of our communities.
DOJ office of inspector gen released natl security report confirming my concerns once again tht Biden-Harris failed 2 vet all Afghan evacuees after botched w/drawal allowed dangerous individuals 2 roam free Report found dozens in Afghan evacuee program w hits on terror watchlist

The Senate Committee on the Judiciary released the following statement:
The Department of Justice’s (DOJ) Office of Inspector General (OIG) today issued a report confirming Senate Judiciary Committee Chairman Chuck Grassley’s (R-Iowa) longstanding concern that the Biden-Harris administration failed to properly vet all Afghan evacuees after the U.S.’s botched withdrawal from the region.
According to the DOJ OIG report, 55 Afghan evacuees with hits on the terrorist screening database were encountered by U.S. officials. Of those, atleast 21were added to the database after entry into the United States and an additional two evacuees were already on the database prior to entry into the country.As of July 2024, eight evacuees in the United States remained on the terrorist watchlist with four of them subject to active FBI investigation. Notably, last year, Nasir Ahmad Tawhedi, an Afghan evacuee, was arrested for planning an Election Day terrorist attack on behalf of ISIS.
“I’ve sounded the alarm about the need to thoroughly vet Afghan evacuee applicants since August 2021. The Biden-Harris administration, my Democrat colleagues in Congress and many in the media were quick to dismiss glaring red flags that a nonpartisan national security analysis now confirms,” Grassley said. “As if it wasn’t already obvious, the Biden-Harris administration endangered American lives by allowing suspected terrorists to enter the United States and roam free for years. My oversight of this matter will continue.”
