On Wednesday, Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents announced that Jaan Shah Safi, an Afghan national released into the U.S by Joe Biden’s ‘Operation Allies Welcome,’ was taken into custody.
Safi is suspected of providing support to the Islamic State of Iraq and Syria-Khorasan (ISIS-K) and providing weapons to his father, who is a commander of a militia group in Afghanistan.

The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) notes, “Safi is an illegal alien terrorist who entered the U.S. on September 8, 2021, in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, under the Biden administration’s Operation Allies Welcome.”
“He applied for Temporary Protected Status (TPS) but his application was terminated once Secretary Noem ended TPS for Afghans. On December 3, 2025, under the leadership of President Trump and Secretary Noem, ICE arrested Safi.”
Secretary of Homeland Security, Kristi Noem added, “Today, our heroic ICE officers arrested Jaan Shah Safi, a terrorist who provided material support to ISIS-K. The Biden administration brought this terrorist into the U.S. under the disastrous Operation Allies Welcome program.”
“This terrorist was arrested miles from our nation’s capital where our brave National Guard heroes, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, were shot just days ago by another unvetted Afghan terrorist brought into our country.”
“The Biden administration created one of the worst national security crises in American history. Biden let into our country nearly 190,000 unvetted Afghan aliens — only determining who they were and their intentions when they were already on American soil. President Trump has been working every day since January 20 to clean up this unmitigated national security crisis.”
This marks the third arrest of an Afghan national terrorist released into the country by the Biden administration in less than a week.
As The Gateway Pundit reported, two National Guard members were shot near the White House the day before Thanksgiving in an ambush attack by an Afghan national.
The shooter, 29-year-old Afghan national Rahmanullah Lakanwal, previously entered the country unvetted in 2021 under Biden’s program.
On November 25, Mohammad Dawood Alokozay, who was also released into the U.S. under Biden’s program, was arrested by local authorities and the FBI’s Joint Terrorism Task Force for making bomb threats in Fort Worth, Texas.
Following the shooting in DC, President Trump addressed the nation, calling for the reexamination of “every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden” and “all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.”
President Trump noted of Lakanwal, “He was flown in by the Biden administration in September 2021 on those infamous flights that everybody was talking about— nobody knew who was coming in, nobody knew anything about it. His status was extended under legislation signed by President Biden, a disastrous president, the worst in the history of our country.”
“We must now reexamine every single alien who has entered our country from Afghanistan under Biden, and we must take all necessary measures to ensure the removal of any alien from any country who does not belong here or add benefit to our country.”
