US Gov’t Hires Pro-Hamas PLO Spokeswoman for Asylum Claims
The U.S. Immigration Enforcement Agency Employs Former Spokeswoman for Palestinian Liberation Organization
The U.S. immigration enforcement agency has made a controversial hiring decision, bringing on board a former spokeswoman for the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) to determine who can enter the country as immigrants or asylum seekers. This revelation comes after a Daily Wire investigation discovered that the Department of Homeland Security (DHS) officer has been posting inflammatory content on social media, including pictures of Hamas terrorists parachuting in with guns and explicit anti-Israel sentiments.
Background of Nejwa Ali
Nejwa Ali previously worked as a public affairs officer for the Palestinian Delegation to the U.S., which served as the PLO office in D.C. Despite the expulsion of this office by the Trump administration, Ali managed to secure a position at DHS as an “Asylum Officer,” responsible for applying immigration laws and regulations to asylum applications. She later transitioned to becoming an Adjudication Officer for the U.S. Customs and Immigration Service (CIS), where she reviews and makes determinations on cases for immigration benefits.
Concerns about Vetting and Allegiances
It is unclear whether Ali underwent proper vetting procedures before being hired by DHS. Her social media profiles, where she goes by the name “Falastine Mi Amor,” clearly indicate her primary allegiance to the Palestinians rather than the United States. Her posts, which have intensified in recent months, include extremist rhetoric and support for terrorist attacks on Israel.
Controversial Social Media Posts
Ali’s social media accounts, including Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter, have been filled with posts glorifying terrorist attacks on Israel. She has shared images of armed terrorists paragliding into the Jewish state with captions like “Free PALESTINE.” Some of her posts also include the statement “Respect our existence, or expect resistance. Simple. No Apologies,” suggesting that she finds attacks on civilians acceptable as long as Israel exists on what she considers occupied land.
Ali’s Views on Jews and Israel
Ali has expressed strong anti-Israel sentiments and has held Jews accountable for their government’s actions. She has criticized Israeli and American privilege, claiming that Israelis should acknowledge their government’s responsibility for attacks. She has also made derogatory comments about Jews who support Israel and has accused the media of promoting Israeli propaganda.
Response from USCIS
The U.S. Customs and Immigration Service (USCIS) has condemned antisemitism and violent rhetoric, emphasizing that its employees are held to high ethical standards both on and off duty. USCIS stated that any violation of these standards is taken seriously. However, when questioned about Ali’s employment, USCIS declined to provide further details about the hiring process or whether they were aware of her extremist views.
Ali’s Defiant Attitude
When confronted about her employment with the PLO, Ali responded aggressively, stating that it was none of anyone’s business. She dismissed concerns about her views on Israel, claiming that it does not affect her ability to perform her job. USCIS declined to comment on why they hired someone with a previous affiliation with a foreign quasi-government organization that was expelled from the United States.
Ali’s History of Extreme Views
Ali’s extreme foreign policy views were evident even before she joined the government. She has advocated for boycotting Israel, ending aid to Israel, and has criticized Republicans for their support of Israel. Her social media posts have also shown support for violent leftist figures and communist militants.
Implications for U.S. Immigration Policy
Ali’s position within DHS raises concerns about the agency’s ability to make informed decisions regarding immigration and asylum. As the United States faces pressure to welcome Palestinian refugees amid the conflict with Hamas, officers like Ali would play a crucial role in advising the government on granting entry to applicants. However, Ali’s views on Israel directly contradict the official policy of the United States, which stands firmly with Israel and supports its fight against terrorism.
What potential implications might the employment of an individual with affiliations to groups like the PLO have on the immigration application process for individuals with ties to Israel or the Jewish community?
R the suffering of Palestinians. In one post, she wrote, “What an honor to be blocked by the Israeli Prime Minister on Twitter! It means I am doing something right. Keep fighting for justice for Palestine! #FreePalestine.”
Implications for Immigration Policies
The hiring of Nejwa Ali raises serious concerns about the integrity and impartiality of the U.S. immigration enforcement agency. Given her previous role as a spokesperson for the PLO, it is reasonable to question whether Ali can fairly assess asylum claims and immigration applications from individuals with ties to Israel or the Jewish community. The fact that Ali has publicly endorsed and embraced extremist views and violence against Israel raises doubts about her ability to make objective decisions that adhere to U.S. immigration laws and regulations.
The Role of Vetting in National Security
The hiring of an individual with such clear alignments and sympathies to a known terrorist organization like Hamas raises questions about the screening and vetting process within DHS. It is imperative that individuals responsible for determining who can enter the country as immigrants or asylum seekers hold no affiliations or sympathies with groups or individuals that undermine U.S. national security interests. This incident highlights the need for stricter vetting procedures to ensure that individuals with potential biases or extremist views do not hold positions of power or influence within the U.S. immigration enforcement agency or any other government agency.
Conclusion
The employment of Nejwa Ali, a former spokesperson for the Palestinian Liberation Organization, by the U.S. immigration enforcement agency raises legitimate concerns about the objectivity and integrity of the agency in enforcing immigration laws and regulations. Ali’s public endorsement of extremist views and support for violence against Israel calls into question her ability to fairly assess immigration applications and make impartial decisions. This incident underscores the importance of thorough vetting procedures to ensure that individuals with potential biases or affiliations with extremist groups are not entrusted with positions of authority within our government agencies. Upholding national security and maintaining a fair and unbiased immigration system should be top priorities for the U.S., and incidents like this highlight the need for continuous improvement in our vetting processes.
