Biden admin scrambles to close loophole that allowed migrant on terror watchlist to go free
Fox News
The Biden administration is working to close an immigration loophole that allowed an Afghan migrant on the FBI's terror watclist to roam free in the U.S. for over a year.
The change comes after an NBC News report from April that detailed the story of 48-year-old Mohammad Kharwin, an Afghan migrant who was on the terrorist watchlist but released on bond by an immigration judge in Texas.
Kharwin, who the FBI’s terror watchlist indicated is a member of Hezb-e-Islami, an organization designated as a terrorist group by the U.S., was initially caught crossing the border in 2023 but was released from custody because Border Patrol agents did not have biometric information tying him to the terrorist watchlist.
